Australia needs new coaching style after Justin Langer : Pat Cummins
Australia requires a “new style of coaching”, said captain Pat Cummins on Wednesday, in his first public statement since the departure of former national team coach Justin Langer
Langer resigned on Saturday and Cummins and his team have been criticised by several retired players for not publicly supporting the coach.
Langer left after a nearly four-year tenure which was appreciated instilling integrity and discipline into the team. His tenure culminated in a 4-0 beating of England in the Ashes series that ended last month.
“Justin has acknowledged that his style was intense. And it was. He has apologised to players and staff for his intensity,” said Cummins in a statement.
“I think the apology was unnecessary. Because the players were OK with JL’s intensity.. and Justin’s intensity drove a better team culture and higher team standards. These are significant legacies.” he added.
Cummins said that Australian players need new coaching style after the excellent foundation provided by Langer.
