Cricket Australia (CA) says it will hold «confidential discussions» with Justin Langer about his future as national men's coach following a marathon board meeting on Friday.
Michael Vaughan believes Justin Langer would be the perfect replacement for former England head coach Chris Silverwood.
England have sacked head coach Chris Silverwood in the wake of the team’s embarrassing defeat to Australia in the Ashes.
Legendary wicketkeeper Ian Healy feels Cricket Australia will renew head coach Justin Langer's contract because if they sack him after his successful stint, it will make the game look "stupid". Langer, whose contract is due to end in June, guided Australia to its maiden T20 World Cup title last year and a dominant 4-0 Ashes victory recently. He is in the midst of discussions with CA regarding his future role. "The coach is nowhere near as important as any major player … You can change the coach much easier than you can change a senior player," Healy told 'Sen Radio'.
Australia Test captain Pat Cummins feels his country's cricket board is doing the right thing by evaluating head coach Justin Langer's performance before deciding on his contract extension as players too go through the same process at regular intervals. Langer, under whose tutelage Australia hammered England in the Ashes and also won the T20 World Cup for the first time last year, has been in service for the past four years. Cricket Australia will be considering a contract extension for him on Friday.
Australia Test skipper Pat Cummins on Thursday said that it is not up to the players to decide whether Justin Langer should continue as the head coach or not, and it is a decision of Cricket Australia. Langer's contract is set to expire later this year, and speculations are rife whether he will continue on as the coach even after winning the T20 World Cup and Ashes.
Australian test cricket captain Pat Cummins has again avoided the chance to endorse embattled coach Justin Langer, saying it is not his job to decide his future.
Australia's T20 World Cup and multiple Ashes-winning coach Justin Langer has refused a handsome bonus offered by his cricket board as he found it "morally inappropriate" to accept it at a time when the organisation witnessed massive job cuts due to COVID-19. "Australian cricket coach Justin Langer secretly knocked back a six figure sum in bonuses because he felt it would be morally inappropriate amid Covid job cuts," eminent cricket writers Robert Craddock and Peter Lalor reported for the Australian newspaper 'The Daily Telegraph'.
