Pat Cummins was, once again, asked for his opinion on the escalating Justin Langer contract saga. His answer only adds fuel to the firestorm.
of a contract extension, the overall silence from the current playing group has been deafening. Almost all of his support has come from former players, or from Western Australia, where he is based.
Cummins spoke to media today for the first time since the Ashes series finished, and he was once again asked to comment on the escalating Langer situation."JL's been doing a fantastic job, he's been there for four years, his contract is obviously up soon, they're just going through an evaluation process at the moment, which I think is fair, the right thing to do."That process is happening, it's a decision for Cricket Australia and we just have to wait.
That eventually escalated to the point Cricket Australia called for mediation between the national coach, Cummins, then-Test captain Tim Paine, and limited overs captain Aaron Finch. As a result of that meeting Langer agreed to relinquish some of his duties and give more power to the players, as well as assistant coaches Andrew McDonald and Michael Di Venuto.The fact the drastic improvement came after Langer took a back seat may be telling in what Cricket Australia decide to do next.
