England fans have named Justin Langer as their choice to become next head coach - sending a strong message to the ECB over their preferred candidate.
Andrew Strauss, the ECB’s interim managing director of men’s cricket, is currently leading the search for who should replace Chris Silverwood as head coach following the dismal Ashes tour to Australia, and fans have named former Baggy Green coach Langer as their choice for the role.
Langer departed his position as Australia coach earlier this month after Cricket Australia only offered him a short-term contract extension and, in a Cricket Mirror survey that listed 10 candidates, 46.6% of fans said the former opening bat should be the next England coach.
