Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Lucknow Super Giants on Friday announced Australian veteran Justin Langer as its new head coach.
Langer replaced Andy Flower, who was the head coach of the franchise in its first two editions.
Langer has coached Australian cricket team in the past and is widely known for his out of box tactics.
“Lucknow Super Giants are on the journey of building a great story in the IPL,” Langer said in a statement released by the franchise. “We all have a role to play in that journey and I am excited to be a part of the team moving forward.”
Lucknow qualified for play-offs in both editions they played so far but couldn’t finish in the top two.
Sanjiv Goenka, owner of the Super Giants franchise said, “I have enjoyed my interactions with Justin Langer. He seems to bring in a huge amount of aggression and a lot of clarity.”
