Pat Cummins says Australia need new coaching style after Justin Langer

Pat Cummins said on Wednesday in his first public comments since the departure of former national team coach Justin Langer. In the wake of Langer's resignation on Saturday, Cummins and his team have been lambasted by several retired players for not publicly supporting the coach. Langer left after a nearly four-year reign which was widely seen as instilling integrity and discipline into the team. His tenure culminated in a 4-0 beating of England in the Ashes series that ended last month. Cummins said Langer's renowned intensity was not the reason the coach had been offered only a six-month contract extension, describing Cricket Australia's position as a "brave call". "Justin has acknowledged that his style was intense. And it was. He has apologised to players and staff for his intensity," Cummins said in a statement.
