Darren Lehmann announced that the fourth and final Test of the series vs the South African cricket team will be his last match as coach of the Australian cricket team. “This will be my last Test as head coach of the Australian cricket team,” Lehmann told a press conference on the eve of the match. “My family and I have copped a lot of abuse over the last week and it’s taken its toll,” added Lehmann. Darren Lehmann is the latest casualty in the ball-tampering scandal that has already seen Steve Smith and David Warner stripped of their captaincy and vice-captaincy, respectively. James Sutherland, Cricket Australia CEO, will also address a media conference following Lehmann’s decision to step down.
