Australia v England, 5th Test, Sydney

Injured Ponting Out of Sydney Test

Melbourne: Ricky Ponting has been ruled out of the Sydney Test due to his broken little finger.

He is likely to face surgery but is expected to be fit for the World Cup. A decision on the team and the country's 43rd Test captain has been delayed until this afternoon.

Ricky Ponting had a repeat X-ray after the fourth Test which showed evidence that the fracture of his fifth finger has moved during the course of the Melbourne Test," team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said.

"His return to cricket will be based on how quickly the fracture heals and he will hopefully commence training in the later part of the Australian summer," he added.
