Former women's team captain Karen Rolton and  Norm O'Neill, the batsman who played 42 Test matches between 1958 and 1965, will also be inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame.

Ponting, the most capped Australian Test and one day international cricketer, is also the leading run-scorer for his country in Tests

Ponting is also the only player in the world to have taken part in more than 100 Test victories. He played his final Test against South Africa at the WACA ground in Perth in 2012.
