Ricky Ponting says he aims to play on in the Australian Test team but doesn't expect to play one-day international cricket again.
The 37-year-old former national captain said on Tuesday he was resigned to the fact his time was up in the 50-over format.
Ponting was speaking at a media
conference in Sydney on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after chairman of selectors John Inverarity announced his dumping from the Australian ODI team following a run of bad form.
"With (national selector) John Inverarity announcing the one-day squad for the next couple of games and obviously I've been left out of that and dropped from the one-day international team which I'm disappointed about but life goes on for me,'' said Ponting.
"I totally understand the reasons why I've been left out of the side, my performances over the last five games haven't warranted me staying in the team.
