Langer opens up on pain of coaching speculation

Justin Langer says speculation about his coaching future with Cricket Australia was frustrating but he was ready to sit down with his superiors to discuss it.
The WA cricket legend, who has taken the national team to a T20 World Cup title and Ashes defence in the past 6 months, told Liam Bartlett exclusively on 6PR Mornings he was a much better coach now than 12 months ago.
“I can only be judged on where Australian cricket was when I took over, because that’s the obvious time, to where it is today,” he said.
“Whatever happens, I’m really, really proud and so are my family and friends and so many people I know and I think a lot of Australians are to be honest about where the Australian cricket team is now.
“Before I left (in September for the T20 World Cup), the absolute commitment from Cricket Australia and myself was that at the end of this campaign… my contract runs out in June and we’ll discuss where everyone is at and come up with the best plan going forward.
“The Ashes finished two days ago so I guess it’s now time to sit down and have those conversations.”
