Ponting backs Carey as World Cup keeper and potential captain eNCA
SYDNEY - Alex Carey has been endorsed by Ricky Ponting to be Australia's wicket-keeper at the World Cup, with the team's batting coach also backing him as stand-in captain if Aaron Finch is injured.
"Alex Carey offers the best package as keeper," Ponting, who played at five World Cups, told cricket.com.au when asked who he sees filling the role. But Ponting believes Carey deserves the opportunity after his performances in Australia's recent eight-game winning streak.
