Cricket goes to look silly if Cricket Australia sack Justin Langer: Ian Healy

Legendary wicketkeeper Ian Healy feels Cricket Australia will renew head coach Justin Langer’s contract as a result of in the event that they sack him after his profitable stint, it’s going to make the sport look “stupid”. Langer, whose contract is because of finish in June, guided Australia to its maiden T20 World Cup title final yr and a dominant 4-0 Ashes victory not too long ago. He is within the midst of discussions with CA relating to his future function.
“The coach is nowhere near as important as any major player, You can change the coach much easier than you can change a senior player,” Healy informed ‘Sen Radio’. “(However), the game is going to look stupid if they sack Justin Langer, but I don’t think they’ll sack him,” Healy added.

The 57-year-old, who saved wickets for Australia in 119 Tests between 1988 and 1999, feels the dialogue between the 2 events may very well be revolving round variety of years in Langer’s new contract. “They would possibly handle him out by giving him two years and he desires extra, he’s most likely knowledgeable them of what he desires.
“He might be playing that side, (saying) he wants four years, and they (CA) are saying, ‘You can’t have four years, we’ll give you two and now we’ve bumped it up to three, will you accept that?’”
“There might be a stalemate on those fronts, but let’s see what the reasons are,” Healy stated. Despite Langer’s positive file as coach, it has been broadly reported for someday that he hasn’t been in better of phrases with the staff on account of his allegedly risky mood. It is believed that the gamers can have a key function in deciding the 51-year-old’s destiny.

White-ball skipper Aaron Finch and Test captain Pat Cummins have steered away from endorsing Langer to proceed as the pinnacle coach not too long ago with a number of different gamers going backwards and forwards in assist the previous Test opener within the final 12 months.
Healy believes if the senior gamers do vote in favour of a brand new coach they may have plenty of explaining to do. “Gee, there’s going to have to be some big explanations from Pat Cummins, from Aaron Finch, from Steve Smith, and these senior players who have voiced their feelings,” Healy continued.

“I don’t know which way (they voiced their feelings), but it seems like they’re not on board, or they weren’t, but from all reports they got on board and they got winning again. “So, cricket will look stupid (if Langer doesn’t get renewed), the powerbrokers will look stupid that means,” he added.
