ADELAIDE : Former teammates of Justin Langer have lamented what they called a lack of player support for the man who, even before quitting on Saturday as coach of the Australian men's cricket team, was being mentioned as a candidate for the vacant England job.
Justin Langer’s tenure as coach of Australia’s men’s cricket team has come to an end, following months of speculation.
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has said that Babar Azam will soon become the number one ranked Test batter in the world as he has all the desired qualities. Pakistan will next lock horns against Australia in a three-match Test series, beginning March 4 in Rawalpindi. Babar Azam had won the ICC Men's ODI Cricketer of the Year Award in January, beating off competition from Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, South Africa batter Janneman Malan and Ireland opener Paul Stirling.
Ricky Ponting has slammed Cricket Australia over the treatment meted out to Justin Langer, labelling it as "embarrassing".
Chris Silverwood’s reign as England head coach is over following a dismal Ashes as Australia retained the urn within 12 days of cricket before closing out a 4-0 series win.
Mark Ramprakash believes Alec Stewart would be "an excellent candidate" to take over as England head coach, following Chris Silverwood 's departure from the role.
Former Australian captain Michael Clarke expressed his admiration for young Indian batter Prithvi Shaw and even compared his aggressive style of batting to former Team India opener Virender Sehwag. Clarke explained how Shaw, despite his poor outings in Australia last year, has so much to offer with what he brings to the table. Shaw, who has quite often spoken about the positive influence of Ricky Ponting on his batting, has been in and out of the Indian side due to his inconsistent outings. Clarke specifically mentioned that he loved Shaw's "brand of cricket" and termed him as a "terrific player".
Ricky Pointing says he was "shocked" at Virat Kohli recently stepping down from Test captaincy but suggested that he must have taken the decision in his bid to do better with the bat and break some records. Ponting, one of the most successful captains ever, hailed Kohli for his leadership skills, saying that under him India had improved its overseas record by winnings more Tests abroad than before. He also backed Rohit Sharma to do well as Kohli's successor.
