By India Today Web Desk: David Warner has hit out in opposition to Cricket Australia for providing former Australia coach Justin Langer only a six-month contract, saying that it was like a kick within the face.
The buildup to Langer’s exit from the position as coach and the fallout is a focus of the second season of The Test documentary, which might be launched on Friday on Amazon Prime.
The former opener’s departure on the finish of final summer season got here after Cricket Australia took into consideration the issues over the coach’s depth on the finish of his preliminary four-year tenure. CA would then go onto provide Langer a six-month contract with no scope of an extension. The former cricketer would promptly reject the provide and subsequently resigned from the job.
Speaking within the documentary, as quoted by Cricinfo, Warner stated that Langer needed to maintain teaching and the six-month contract was little bit of a kick within the face.
The opener would then go onto admit that the previous coach did lose the assist of some gamers.
“He wanted to keep coaching. It was a bit of a kick in the face to offer him a six-month contract,” Warner stated within the documentary.
“He lost a fair few players, and probably the wrong players.”
Langer has since gone on to speak in regards to the scenario and stated that he hated the truth that members of the crew would go behind his again and complain about his intense teaching methods.
“Everyone was being good to my face, however I used to be studying about these things and half of it, I swear to God and on my children’ lives, I couldn’t consider that’s what was making the papers. A variety of journalists use the phrase ‘supply’. I might say, change that phrase to ‘coward’,” Langer was quoted as saying to News Corp media.
“Because what do you mean ‘a source says’? They’ve either got an axe to grind with someone and they won’t come and say it to your face, or they’re just leaking stuff for their own agenda. I hate that,” he said.
