Andrew McDonald named interim coach

Andrew McDonald has been appointed Australia's interim head coach. The news was confirmed on Saturday by Cricket Australia. He was expected to lead Australia's coaching team during Sri Lanka T20Is as Langer was rested from the tournament. He will now also take charge of the Australian team during their Pakistan tour.

Langer was appointed as Australia coach in 2018 following the Sandpaper Gate saga. He replaced Darren Lehmann, who had stepped down after the scandal. He guided Australia to their first-ever T20 World Cup title in 2021. Australia won Ashes 2021-22 series 4-0 at home. They drew the Ashes series 2-2 in England in 2019. They also reached the semi-final of 2021 50-over World Cup.
