    Hockley lavishes praise on Langer

    Langer was appointed Australia's coach in May 2018

    Langer was appointed as Australia's head coach in May 2018. He replaced Darren Lehmann, who had stepped down after the ball-tampering scandal. Langer helped the Aussies resurrect in the absence of key players David Warner and Steve Smith. However, the side also suffered plenty of defeats both at home and overseas. They lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy twice (2018/19 and 2020/21) during this period.

    Langer has been under the scanner

    In the past few months, Langer has been under the scanner for his coaching methods. It was also reported that his "temper" perturbed the players and backroom staff members. A number of reports also suggested that the Australian players were unhappy with Langer's management style, owing to his "intensity and mood swings". The reports came after the injury-marred India defeated Australia 2-1 Down Under.

    Since May 2018, Australia have won three and lost as many Test series (drawn one). They have fared better in the ODIs, having won their last four series. In the shortest format, Australia have now suffered five consecutive series defeats. They recently lost the five-match T20I series 1-4 to West Indies and Bangladesh each. Australia last won a T20I series in February 2020.

    Will Australia defend their Ashes title?

    Langer has been backed by CA to hold his position throughout the Ashes. His contract runs till the middle of 2022. Australia will aim to defend their Ashes title under Langer this time as well. They had retained the urn by drawing the five-match series 2-2 in England in 2019. Interestingly, England have won the Ashes in Australia only once (2010) since 1986.
