Langer slams Test skipper Cummins

Former Australia men’s team coach Justin Langer has slammed Test and ODI skipper Pat Cummins for going behind his back, and added that “he grew tired of the leaks around his future” when his contract was due for renewal.

Langer was the coach of the Australian side that won the ICC T20 World Cup in the UAE last year and then guided the Test team to a 4-0 Ashes triumph at home. He was all geared up for his second long stint as head coach of the side, before Cricket Australia (CA) only gave him a six-month extension, thus riling him.
