Former Australia fast bowler Jason Gillespie is not interested in taking over the coaching role of the national team following Justin Langer’s exit.
Having Australia's Test captain as the boss of the national side is not a viable plan in the opinion of opener Usman Khawaja.
Australia's chairman of selectors George Bailey has dismissed Justin Langer's claims that a lack of backing from senior players and support staff led to the former opener's departure as the national team head coach. Langer resigned from the post on Saturday when he was only offered a six-month contract extension until October's T20 World Cup final, despite guiding Australia to victory at the T20 World Cup before overseeing a 4-0 drubbing of England in the Ashes. "I feel for him," Bailey told reporters on Tuesday.
Australia batsman Usman Khawaja has called on captain Pat Cummins to come out and clear the air regarding the circumstances which led to Justin Langer’s resignation as coach.

Ian Chappell has called the past players supporting Justin Langer as his "PR machine" and threw his weight behind skipper Pat Cummins, who had received flak for not backing the former coach in the lead-up to his resignation. Former cricketers such as Ricky Ponting, Matthew Hayden, Mitchell Johnson, Adam Gilchrist and Shane Warne have slammed Cricket Australia and the members of the national team, especially Cummins, for not publicly supporting Langer, who was offered a short-term extension which he declined. "It's easy to lambast Cricket Australia, because they are not very good, and it was only to be expected, their reaction," Chappell told the Wide World of Sports this week.
