Former Australian head coach Justin Langer has rubbished the claims that he was in a conflict with current ODI and Test skipper Pat Cummins.
Langer had quit days before the team’s scheduled departure for the historic Test series against Pakistan earlier this year after CA just gave him a six-month contract extension.
Some senior players in team were reportedly not happy with Langer’s micromanagement of the team and things came to a head on a couple of occasions during the final 12 months of his contract.
“Ironically, I spoke to Patty (Cummins) on Monday; we had a long talk about how the team was going, how he’s going, how his family’s going. And some of this rubbish is complete and utter rubbish,” Langer told Channel 7 News Perth, according to a report in Daily Mail.
“I’ve got so much respect for Patty Cummins, I think he’s a brilliant player, I think he’s an outstanding human being. So any thought there’s war between Patty and I could not be further from the truth.”
Langer had initially said in a podcast which raised quite a storm, that, “I spoke to Pat Cummins. He said to me about five times, ‘This might be brutally honest’. I said, Pat, there is nothing brutal about your feedback. What is brutal is I’m hearing it behind my back through the media or through sources. No one’s telling me. Tell me”
