Forced Covid-19 break a chance to fix Australian domestic cricket: Langer

Under Langer's guidance, Australia recently grabbed the number one position in Tests at the expense of India

Australia cricket team’s coach Justin Langer is looking at the Covid-19 pandemic as "an amazing opportunity" to fix the issues that have seeped into the country's once thriving state and club level setups.
 
There was a time when the country would field an 'A' squad alongside its main team for an annual limited overs triangular series in the Australian summer.
 
"It wasn't that long ago that we prided ourselves on having an amazing club cricket system that fed into state domestic cricket, which fed into the best of the best playing for Australia," Langer told ABC Grandstand on Fox Sports.
 
"I see it (the current situation) as an amazing opportunity. I can see it (domestic cricket setup) actually going back that way. More emphasis back on club cricket, more emphasis on state cricket then get the best of the best in Australia. That would be my vision for the next five years," the former opener, who played at a time when Australia were a dominant force in world cricket, added.
