Langer may replace Kirsten as India’s head coach
March 22nd, 2011 - 1:36 pm ICT by ANISydney, Mar 22 (ANI): Australia’s batting coach Justin Langer has been tipped as a strong contender to succeed India’s current head coach, South African Gary Kirsten, who is expected to resign after the World Cup after a largely successful stint.
Cricket Australia’s failure to offer full-time jobs to all its national team coaches could cost it the services of Langer.
“If BCCI [Board of Control for Cricket in India] thinks I am capable of such a big role, it augurs well for my confidence. I have a lot to give back to the game. Coaching the most popular cricket team in the world would be great,” a Mumbai based paper quoted Langer, as saying.
Langer, however, disputed the quotes attributed to him, including the “Yes I would” reply to the question of whether he would take on the India role. (ANI)
