Former Australia cricketer Adam Gilchrist believes that the controversy surrounding Justin Langer is not healthy for Australia cricket and may "derail" the team's plans in the summer with Ashes on the horizon. There have been reports of players not happy with Langer's management style, and Gilchrist said that the Aussie head coach is aware of these complaints. The former Aussie opener further added that if all parties believe Gilchrist is not the right person to continue as the head coach of the team, then they need to make the change sooner rather than later. “So, Cricket Australia needs to try to address this very quickly. If everyone believes the best thing to do is move on from Justin Langer as a coach, do it sooner rather than later because it is just going to create a side issue, which is going to continue to be a circus," he signed off.
