Justin Langer replaces Darren Lehmann as Australian Cricket coach

Former Australian opener Justin Langer has been confirmed as the next coach of the Australian cricket team.

Langer, who played 105 tests, replaces Darren Lehmann following resigned after the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa.

The 47-year-old Langer has previously coached Western Australia and the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League. He has also held an interim role as coach of the Australian team.
