It's fair that Justin Langer is being evaluated, part of high performance environment: Pat Cummins
India Today
Australia head coach Justin Langer, whose contract is set to expire mid-year, is hoping for an extension despite no players endorsing him publicly to continue in the role.
Australia Test captain Pat Cummins praised Justin Langer for doing a "fantastic" job as head coach but said it was only fair for Cricket Australia to conduct an evaluation process before making a decision on renewing his contract.
Langer, whose contract is set to expire mid-year, is hoping for an extension despite no players endorsing him publicly to continue in the role.
"It lies in Cricket Australia's hands. JL (Langer) has been doing a fantastic job. He has been there for four years," Cummins told reporters on Thursday.
"His contract is obviously up soon. So they're just going through an evaluation process at the moment, which I think is fair and the right thing to do.
"We all get evaluated all the time as cricketers, it's part of a high performance environment."
Australian media reported this week that Langer reacted angrily during a recent meeting with Cricket Australia over his contract and had been asked to reapply for the role.
CA refuted the reports.
