WA mentor and Test great unveiled as men's national team head coach in all three formats
More than a decade after he walked away from Test cricket and a year before he was expected to step into the role of national coach, Justin Langer will formally replace Darren Lehmann at the helm of a bruised Australia men’s team.
Langer, 47, had been earmarked as Lehmann’s successor when the former coach foreshadowed his tenure would end at the cessation of next year’s dual World Cup/Ashes assignment in the UK.
But the former Test opener, who will oversee the rebirth and rebranding of the national men’s outfit in all three international formats, was fast-tracked into the role following the fall-out from the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa six weeks ago.
