IPL: It looks like Justin Langer has finally found a head coach job. After his ugly exit from the Australia head coach position, this will be a welcome change for the former Australia opening batsman. It will also be a drastic change in the LSG locker room.
Lucknow Super Giants went to Twitter to announce the signing. Before this, Andy Flower was the head coach of the IPL franchise. Even after two impressive seasons, the franchise did not extend his IPL contract.
Justin Langer has a massive CV as head coach. But it also comes with discipline as Alfie likes to control the dressing room and is quite strict. One of the few reasons why the Australian team went on to their separate ways.
An Experienced Coach
Langer led his side Australia to their first T20 World Cup in 2021. He also had a 55.5% win record in Tests even after taking over a dreadful Aussie side. An English demolition of 4-0 in 2021-22 is also on the card.
Not only that, he has proven himself in franchise cricket as well. As Alfie has won three titles with the Big Bash League team Perth Scorchers. They won the title in 2013-14, 2014-15, and in the 2016-17 season.
It will also be helpful that Langer has previously worked with Gautam Gambhir. They did not work together officially but Langer was Gambhir’s mentor for a very short period of time in 2015.
North Indian IPL Team Targeting Flower?
Even though he is sacked, Andy Flower has been an amazing coach for LSG. And his services have not gone unnoticed. As either Punjab Kings or Delhi Capitals are looking to grab the opportunity and sign the former Zimbabwean cricketer.
