Darren Lehmann will continue as head
coach of Australia until October 2019,
after receiving a two-year contract
extension. The 46-year-old's contract
was due to expire in June 2017, but has
now been extended to cover home and
away Ashes series and the 50-over
World Cup in 2019.
The extension was long rumoured
with many in Australian cricket circles
believing Justin Langer, Western
Australia's coach, being the hot
favourite to succeed Lehmann in 2019.
Langer was Australia's interim coach
in the Caribbean during the tri-series
in June when Lehmann rested.
Lehmann told reporters on Monday
(August 1) that he was likely to step
aside in 2019. "As I've always said, it's
the best job in the world," he said. "I
love the job. But it's a job you can't do
forever, either." --- Read More: http://m.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/81741
