Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting will not play English county cricket in 2012.
Rumours had emerged that the 37-year-old Ponting was considering a move to Somerset this year but his manager James Henderson has rejected the reports.
"Ricky is not turning his back on playing county cricket in the future but the 2012 season does not line up with his current priorities," Henderson said.
"He will not be playing cricket from after the West Indies tour through until the start of the Sheffield Shield season.
"He will use the down time to spend more time with his family and refresh after a hectic past nine months."
Ponting briefly played with Somerset in 2004.
