Reports have emerged about tension from within the dressing room at Langer’s ‘intense’ leadership style, which allegedly boiled over when he spoke sternly to a Cricket Australia digital journalist who was within their hub during the recent Bangladesh series.
The pressure has mounted following back-to-back 4-1 T20 International series defeats to Bangladesh and the West Indies for Australia too.

The side’s T20I woes are more stark too, having lost their past five series ahead of this year’s World Cup in UAE and Oman.
Finch insisted that the side could contend at the World Cup, particularly having fielded depleted sides in recent T20I series.
“I’ve got no doubt that our best is as good as or better than anyone in the world,” Finch said.
“There’s a lot of experience there. There’s firepower, there’s class. I think that our best team covers all bases. And that’s what I’m really excited about.”
