Australia’s cricket coach delivers shock resignationAFP, SYDNEYAustralian men’s cricket coach Justin Langer yesterday announced his abrupt departure, just weeks after his side trounced archrivals England in a lopsided Ashes series and months after they won the T20 World Cup. Australia’s cricket coach Justin Langer speaks to reporters in the Albion suburb of Brisbane, Australia, on May 3, 2019. Sports management company DSEG announced Langer’s departure in a terse statement saying: “Our client Justin Langer has this morning tendered his resignation as coach of the Australian men’s cricket team.”“The resignation follows a meeting with Cricket Australia last evening. Langer took the job in 2018, with Australian cricket at its lowest ebb for decades in the wake of the sandpaper-gate cheating affair that shocked the country. Langer was part of a golden era for Australian cricket, with greats such as Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist, Glenn McGrath and Ponting in the all-conquering team.
