Michael Clarke made these remarks while speaking on The Big Sports Breakfast on Monday. He pointed out that many fans feel Cummins may have a role in Langer’s exit and hence must come out and voice his opinion regarding the same.
He said:
It is worth mentioning that Langer was offered a short-term extension to his current contract until the end of the T20 World Cup 2022. However, he did not accept the offer and ended up resigning from his post as head coach.
“Pat Cummins needs to stand tall and explain to past players” - Michael Clarke
Michael Clarke also spoke about how several ex-Aussie players like Mitchell Johnson, Steve Waugh, Ricky Ponting and Mark Taylor have come out in support of Langer after recent developments. He feels it is Cummins’ responsibility to answer to these former cricket stars, as well as the fans.
He added:
Langer was roped in as head coach in the aftermath of the infamous Sandpapergate in 2018. During his tenure, the men’s side clinched their maiden T20 World Cup in 2021. They recently completed a stunning 4-0 Ashes win against arch-rivals England.
