Justin Langer

The reports keep on coming that all is not well in the Australian dressing room and the major reason behind that disappointment is because of coach Justin Langer who is quite strict in the dressing room and doesn’t allow players to express themselves freely which is not allowing players to perform on the field.

Former Australian wicket keeper-batsman Adam Gilchrist talked about his close friend Justin Langer and stated that Cricket Australia should held a discussion with Justin Langer and resolve all the off field issues together and the cricket administration had to take a call on Langer that whether  they want Langer to continue or not.

“Justin is very aware of these perceived issues with his management style, and he’s going to keep trying to work with that, and I’m sure the players will try to work alongside that as well,” Gilchrist told SEN Radio on Monday.

“But the bigger issue, and it will derail the summer if it doesn’t get sorted out, is the fact these journalists have direct line of contact with people within the inner sanctum there, and the people in that inner sanctum are happy to let it get out,” he added.

He said that delaying the decision of Langer’s matter will worsen the condition of Cricket Australia even more.

“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 said.

If Steve Smith doesn’t get fit ahead of T20 World Cup it will be big blow for Kangaroos in the mega event as the Australian middle order is clearly struggling at the moment.
