|| CF DESK ||
Justin Langer is the front-runner to become the head coach of Lucknow Super Giants head coach as the franchise has decided not to extend the contract with Andy Flower.
LSG took to social media to bid farewell to coach Flower who has worked with the Lucknow-based franchise for two seasons.
“Dear Andy, Today it’s farewell, but it’ll never be goodbye because you’ll always be one of our own. Thank you for everything!” the franchise wrote.
According to reports, negotiations are underway between Justin Langer and LSG while neither the franchise nor the former Aussie batter have confirmed the news.
Langer was never seen in a coaching role in the IPL but has worked in BBL, having Perth Scorchers win three titles.
He was also the head coach when Australia won the T20 World Cup for the first time in 2021 in the UAE. He resigned as Australia's head coach early in 2022 after rejecting a short-term extension offer.
