5 cricketers whose jerseys should be retired

3.Ricky Ponting

Ponting wore the jersey number of 14 almost all his career

The most successful Australian captain and arguably the greatest Number 3 to play the game, it would be hard to ignore Ricky Ponting if there is a debate on the greatest players who played the game of cricket.

During the course of his 17-year limited-overs career, the right-hander had the digits '14' on the back of his jersey, as he went about his business of plundering bowling attacks all around the world.

The only captain after Clive Lloyd to win the back-to-back 50-over World Cups, Ponting has never made it clear what the number 14 meant, but if there was one recently-retired Australian player who deserves his jersey number to be retired, it would be him.
