The
38-year-old, who retired from international cricket in December, will appear for
the Mumbai Indians in the IPL and then move on to English county side Surrey for
the first two months of the
season before heading to the Caribbean in late July.
In 168 Tests Ponting scored 13,378 Test runs, another 13,704 runs in 375 ODIs and 401 runs in 17 T20 internationals.
"The West Indies has always been one of my favourite cricket destinations," said Ponting.
"The mix of entertainment and cricket is the perfect recipe for West Indian cricket fans as well as the rest of the world."
Ponting will not find out which of the six sides - Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, St Lucia and Trinidad & Tobago - he will play for until May's draft.
Also confirmed alongside Ponting are the six West Indies franchise players for the tournament: Darren Sammy, Dwayne Bravo, Chris Gayle, Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard and Marlon Samuels.
The CPL will contract a total of 90 players, with each franchise team selecting 15 players. Just like the IPL, there are quotas regarding players playing under a certain age, and how many international players a team can field at one time.
Each team can field a maximum of four international players, and must have at least four players under the age of 23, with the rest of the squad comprising of local regional players.
The CPL is scheduled to take place from July 29 to August 26.
