  The present work reports study on the interacting Ricci dark energy in a
modified gravity theory named $f(R,T)$ gravity. The specific model $f(R,T)=\mu
R+\nu T$ (proposed by R. Myrzakulov, arXiv:1205.5266v2) is considered here. For
this model we have observed a quintom-like behavior of the equation of state
(EoS) parameter and a transition from matter dominated to dark energy density
has been observed through fraction density evolution. The statefinder
parameters reveal that the model interpolates between dust and $\Lambda$CDM
phases of the universe.
