Australia 's new head coach Andrew McDonald has admitted the prospect of a potential Ashes showdown against the man he replaced would be "great".
McDonald was officially named as Justin Langer 's replacement on Wednesday, signing a four-year deal which will see him take charge across all three formats. His appointment came after Australia enjoyed a successful tour of Pakistan with McDonald in interim charge, winning a Test series in Asia for the first time since 2011.
Langer, meanwhile, dramatically quit as Australia's head coach following a comprehensive 4-0 win over England in the Ashes, rejecting the offer of a short-term contract extension. The 51-year-old cited a lack of support from senior players, support staff and the board as the reason behind his decision in his resignation letter.
