Australia death over specialist, Andrew Tye considers Justin Langer to be the best candidate for the coaching job in the circuit.

Langer and Tye have worked together in the Perth Scorchers in BBL and Western Australia camp. It is learnt that former Australian opener is responsible for the discovery and development of the bowler from anonymity.

Previously, Darren Lehmann resigned from his post as the coach of the Australian cricket team, in the aftermath of the ball-tampering row.

He is the best man for the job (considering the circumstances). I have worked closely with J.L., and he has been a good mate for years now,” Andrew Tye told cricket.co.au. 

Tye cited out his personal experience at Western Australia, where the former baggy green changed the fortune of the struggling domestic team.

“When he took over, things were not so good at Western Australia, but he turned it around. He is definitely the right man for the (Australia) job,” Tye cited out.
