Australia open to splitting coaching role after Langer exit

The Hindu  

Cricket Australia is open to splitting the head coach’s role for its men’s team following Justin Langer’s exit, CA chairman Lachie Henderson said on Monday, conceding it was taxing for one person to coach across formats. “I think it is a very time-consuming role for one individual and maybe a more distributed method of coaching is the way of the future,” Henderson told ABC radio when asked if CA would consider separate red and white ball coaches. “It may be that person is not available for every single tour around the world over the next 18 months,” the CA chief said. “There is a good chance they will split the roles as I don't think it is sustainable that everyone does every single format for a long period of time,” Watson told the International Cricket Council's show ‘The ICC Review.’ “There is always going to be burnout and fatigue in a team environment, especially now with COVID and bubbles and similar situations that are around,” Watson added.
