Former Australia coach Justin Langer to take charge of London Spirit

The Hindu  

Former Australia boss Justin Langer has been given the task of reviving the London Spirit’s fortunes in English cricket’s Hundred competition after being named head coach of the struggling men’s team. The appointment of Langer comes just a month after compatriot Trevor Bayliss, once in charge of the England men’s national side, left his role as Spirit boss after overseeing just three wins in the past two seasons of the Hundred. “I’m looking forward to being a part of the tournament later this year, and working with such a talented group of players and coaches.” The Hundred, where each team plays 100 ball per innings comprises eight specially created clubs, each featuring a men’s and women’s teams. This has proved controversial and a source of frustration to many longstanding English cricket fans as it makes it the only senior domestic men’s competition not involving all the traditional 18 first-class counties.
