Justin Langer resigns as Australian men's cricket team head coach

Justin Langer has resigned as head coach of Australia's men's cricket team less than a month after a thumping Ashes series win.

It comes after a meeting with Cricket Australia officials last night.

Langer has won 15 of 27 Tests as men's coach since taking charge in 2018 after the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa.

He recently coached the men's team to a 4-0 Ashes series victory, while Australia's men's T20 World Cup win last November was its first in the tournament's history.

But the Australians also recorded a Test series loss to India in the 2020-21 summer under his coaching, as well as white-ball series losses in West Indies and Bangladesh last year.

Rumours of player dissatisfaction with Langer's coaching style have also surrounded the squad for much of the past 12 months.

More to come.
