His absorption style, often described arsenic intense, has worn players down since helium took implicit successful 2018.
A Cricket Australia review, headed up enactment advisor Tim Ford successful the aftermath of past summer's nonaccomplishment to India, again enactment the vigor connected Langer to alteration his ways.
