Ponting slammed CA for forcing Langer to resign despite the former Australia opener wanting to continue. Under Langer, Australia won their maiden T20 World Cup last year and won the 2021-22 Ashes 4-0 last month.
“It’s been a really poor six months” - Ricky Ponting
Speaking to ABC Radio about Langer’s resignation, Ponting said:
Ponting was expecting skipper Pat Cummins to openly back Langer during this tumultuous period but expressed his understanding of the skipper’s situation at this juncture. Ponting also said a very small group of players and other support staff who were growing tired of Langer’s intense coaching style might be the reason behind his resignation.
While Andrew McDonald has been appointed as the interim head coach, several candidates, including former coach John Buchanan, are in line to succeed Langer.
