MELBOURNE: Cricket Australia on Saturday confirmed that Andrew McDonald has been appointed as the interim head coach of the senior men’s team.
“Andrew McDonald will step up into the role of interim head coach of our men’s national team, with official duties beginning with Australia’s upcoming T20I series against Sri Lanka,” Cricket Australia tweeted.
This came after Justin Langer decided to resign as the head coach.
“Justin was offered a short-term extension to his current contract, which sadly he has opted not to accept,” stated an official Cricket Australia release.
The contract extension offered to Langer was the result of a thorough review process that evaluated many factors including future requirements of the team and the upcoming extensive schedule of fixtures.
