Sangakkara Steps Down as Captain

Kumar Sangakkara played his last ODI as Captain in World cup final. He stepped down as ODI and T20 captain and offered to continue as Interim test captain, if Sri Lanka cricket board wants him. By continuing as Interim captain, he can do transition to his successor.

He took this decision because he is not sure whether he will play next world cup as he turns 37 then. He wants to give enough time to his successor to prepare for the next world cup. He assured his full support to the new captain to settle in the leadership role.

He will continue as a player in all formats of the game.

Ricky Ponting Steps down as Australia Captain

Ricky Ponting resigns as Captain for both ODI and Test Cricket formats. Thinking 2 days long, after world cup debacle, Ricky decided to quit as captain but want to continue in the team as batsman.

Though he said, no one tapped on his shoulder to resign and its own decision, one can expect how much pressure he might have faced from Australian former players, media and of-course Cricket Australia.

He said, he will be available for next season, leaving decision to selectors to select him or not. He wants to give more time to new captain, taking over his position, to get more experience before facing big tournaments and hence quitting now.

All the best for your future, Ricky. You did a fantastic job as a Captain so far, leaving recent Ashes and World Cup results apart!

On the other side, Shaun Tait also resigned from one day cricket after world cup loss. He wants to continue in T20 shorter form of game.
