Justin Langer is reportedly keen on becoming England 's new head coach, having left his role with Australia back in February.
England axed Chris Silverwood in the wake of their 4-0 defeat to Langer's Australia in the Ashes. Langer then promptly resigned as Australia coach after turning down a short-term extension, citing a lack of support from senior players, support staff and the board as the reason behind his decision.
Since stepping down, Langer has been widely tipped as an ideal replacement for Silverwood, with England's interim managing director Sir Andrew Strauss admitting he is among the names being considered for the vacancy. "I know him well," Strauss said. "On the surface, he's done a very good job of things with the Australian cricket team. So I wouldn't rule him out."
