Australian Test captain Pat Cummins has hit back at Justin Langer after the former coach l abelled his former players "cowards" over his controversial departure in February.
The former opening batsman took over the role in 2018 following the 'sandpaper gate' scandal that saw Darren Lehmann resign in disgrace. Captain Steve Smith and vice David Warner were also removed from their roles and suspended, along with Cameron Bancroft.
But despite overseeing a T20 World Cup win, and retaining the Ashes in England before winning them emphatically on home soil in the 2020/21 series, Langer duly resigned. His exit came amid rumours of players being unhappy with his forceful management style.
