With Australia Staring At An Early World Cup Exit, O'Donnell Attributes It To CA Easing Out Langer As Head Coach
Defending champions Australia is staring at a premature exit from the ICC T20 World Cup at home following England's thumping 20-run win over New Zealand at Brisbane on Tuesday, and former bowling allrounder Simon O'Donnell believes the slide in the team's fortune began following Justin Langer's exit as chief coach.
Langer, despite guiding Australia to a massive Ashes win earlier this year was reportedly forced to quit as Cricket Australia (CA) and some players were not in favour of the former opener getting a long-term contract renewal. Langer was offered a six-month extension, which he reportedly refused and decided to step down before Australia's series in Pakistan.
