Langer's Short-term Contract Extension Was For 'Unity' & 'Future Success' Of The Team, Clarifies Hockley

By IANS News February 05, 2022 • 16:12 PM View: 1342

Cricket Australia (CA) chief executive Nick Hockley said on Saturday that the decision to offer only a short-term contract extension to head coach Justin Langer was for the "unity" and "future success" of the men's team.

Langer, who had taken over as Australia's coach in 2018 after the Sandpaper-gate scandal in South Africa, on Saturday stepped down unhappy with CA's decision to offer him just a six-month contract for guiding the team to its maiden ICC T20 World Cup trophy in the UAE and a 4-0 Ashes triumph at home.
