Justin Langer is to take up another tough challenge in England amid his globetrotting cricketing life, asked to succeed where fellow Aussies Shane Warne and Trevor Bayliss both failed as coach of the London Spirit franchise in The Hundred.
The former Test opener has been in great demand ever since he was sacked following a successful four-year reign as Australia's coach in 2022 and his latest role takes him back to Lord's where he played as Middlesex's overseas player between 1998 and 2000 and captained them in his final season.
