Justin Langer resigns as Australia cricket coach following CA board meeting

Justin Langer on Saturday has resigned as coach of the Australian men’s cricket team, from this point forward. After a year of unrest and leaks against the coach’s strategies, Cricket Australia and Langer have parted ways.

After the seven-hour meeting on Friday, the CA board failed to reach a resolution and said further discussions were required before a decision could be made on his future.

The announcement was made by an assertion from Langer’s management company DSEG.

“DSEG confirms that our client Justin Langer has this morning tendered his resignation as of the Australian men’s cricket team,” the statement said.

“The resignation follows a meeting with Cricket Australia last evening. The resignation is effective immediately.”

Justin Langer had taken over as Australia men’s team head coach after the infamous ball- tampering scandal, which saw the then captain Steve Smith terminated for a year and reduced three men (Steve Smith, David Warner, and Cameron Bancroft)to tears and public apologies.
