Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting rejected to play county cricket as he bids to play Ashes series in England in 2013.
Ponting’s manager James Henderson refused the reports from his Twitter account to linked with Somerset.
Henderson said “Ricky is not turning his back on playing county cricket in the future but the 2012 season does not line up with his current priorities.”
“He will not be playing cricket from after the West Indies tour through until the start of the Sheffield Shield season. He will use the down time to spend more time with his family and refresh after a hectic past nine months.”
