Australia’s Test captain, Pat Cummins, has broken his silence on Justin Langer’s resignation, defending his teammates against former players who criticised the handling of the head coach’s departure and asserting the need for a “more collaborative approach”.
In a long statement issued before offering further clarity in a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, Cummins thanked Langer for his “significant” legacies and said his often-cited “intensity drove a better team culture and higher team standards”.
