Justin Langer has resigned as coach of the Australian men’s cricket team, ending six months of speculation around his role.

Langer met with Cricket Australia officials on Friday night, just hours after a marathon board meeting where his future was front and centre.

“DSEG confirms that our client Justin Langer has this morning tendered his resignation as coach of the Australian men’s cricket team,” Langer’s management group posted on social media.

“The resignation follows a meeting with Cricket Australia last evening. The resignation is effective immediately.”
