Australia head coach Darren Lehmann has tipped Justin Langer to be his successor in the coaching role, claiming his former teammate is respected very highly.
Reflecting on Langer's talent, Lehmann further said one would be mad not to take the advice of one who played over one hundred Test matches.
He said Langer is respected very highly and would make a very good Australia coach, the report added.
Langer, a veteran of 105 Tests, has served as an assistant to national coaches Tim Nielsen and Mickey Arthur.
Moreover, Twenty20 domestic team Perth Scorchers have won two Big Bash League titles under Langer's guidance.
