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'.
IPL 2022 mega auction and the 10 franchises are all in readiness to vie for the players in what promises to be an action-packed bidding war, spread over two days, to pick up the best cricketing talents from around the world. The 2022 IPL auction, this time, will be held over a 2-day period on February 12 and 13 in Bengaluru and a total of 590 players will be going under the hammer. And one of the keenly fought battles at the auction table will be for the foreign players. 220 short-listed overseas talents will be up for grabs. These foreign players have been picked from 14 countries which also include associate nations like Namibia, Nepal and the USA.
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.
BCCI president Sourav Ganguly said that the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 is likely to be held in India "until and unless COVID-19 hits the roof." With less than a fortnight to go for the IPL 2022 mega auction, Ganguly's comments are certain to delight the Indian cricket fans, who have been deprived of a full IPL season for last two years - IPL 2020 was held in UAE entirely while last year's edition started in India but had to be stopped mid-way due to a COVID-19 outbreak and was held a few months later in the UAE. The former India captain also added that the board is planning to host the league phase of the 15th edition of IPL in Mumbai and Pune. Ganguly, however, did not clarify whether crowd will be allowed in the venues.
MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia test captain Pat Cummins praised Justin Langer for doing a "fantastic" job as head coach but said it was only fair for Cricket Australia to conduct an evaluation process before making a decision on renewing his contract.
