Australian head coach Darren Lehmann has tipped Justin Langer to be his successor in the coaching role, claiming that the former teammate is respected very highly.
Lehmann, who has a contract until mid-2017, said that he believe Langer would be the next coach of Australia, adding that he should be very proud of what he had achieved in Western Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
Reflecting on Langer's talent, Lehmann further said that one would be mad not to take his advice who had played over one hundred Test matches, adding that they respect him very highly and Langer would make a very good Australian coach, the report added.
Langer, a veteran of 105 Tests, has served as an assistant to national coaches Tim Nielsen and Mickey Arthur.
Moreover, Twenty 20 domestic team Perth Scorchers has won two Big Bash League titles under the guidance of Langer.
