“Rahul Dravid Must Be Waking Up Really Excited” Australia Great On His Possibility Of Coaching Indian Team In Future | Cricket News

[ad_1] Team India in action© AFPJustin Langer got a 'probing delivery' on his possible future as coach of the Indian national team but the former Australian opener like his playing days, judged it perfectly and left the one bowled on the "corridor of uncertainty". Langer, who took a two-year-break after his much publicised acrimonious exit from Australian team's head coach's position in 2022, is back as the head coach of IPL franchise Lucknow Super Giants. He got a straight question first up.Will he be considering a possibility of coaching Indian team in the near future? He first laughed as the franchise very rightly wanted to keep it strictly about themselves but the gritty Aussie very nicely skirted the question."I was talking to Ricky Ponting and I cannot believe depth of talent in In...

“Will Have Sleepless Nights…”: Justin Langer Ahead Of IPL Coaching Debut | Cricket News

[ad_1] If KL Rahul leads Lucknow Super Giants to their maiden IPL title, he will automatically be rewarded with a spot in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup, reckons head coach Justin Langer, who wants his team's national hopefuls to "concentrate" on doing well for the franchise first. Rahul, who is coming back from a quadriceps injury and is not expected to keep wickets at the beginning of the IPL, is still not a certainty in the Indian T20 squad and only a good IPL with both the bat and gloves can seal the deal for him.Asked how he would balance his skipper's personal ambition with the team's interests, Langer said it isn't all that complicated."If the team does well, everyone gets rewarded. If KL can captain LSG to IPL title, that means he would have captained well, batted well and...
