The new England cricket director has reportedly ruled a line through Justin Langer becoming the national men's coach.
Key, though, had reservations about Langer's hardline disciplinarian style of coaching and was worried he would not complement incoming captain Ben Stokes well.
Langer led Australia through a tough period following the infamous 2018 sandpaper scandal, but in recent months his coaching style wore thin on the Aussies and it eventually cost him his job. According to the Telegraph report, Key believes Stokes is strict enough in his own right to not need a coach of a similar nature.
