Justin Langer has been named as the new head coach of London Spirit in The Hundred.
Langer, 54, joins the Hundred franchise after Trevor Bayliss' departure last month following a three-year stint in charge. Langer played 105 Tests for Australia and was head coach of his home nation from 2018 to 2022, twice winning the Ashes and also lifting the T20 World Cup in 2021. 'I'm thrilled to be appointed to this role with London Spirit , and I'm excited to experience The Hundred ,' said Langer.
'I'm looking forward to being a part of the tournament later this year, and working with such a talented group of players and coaches.' Spirit will be hoping Langer can turn the fortunes of the franchise around following a difficult two seasons. Bayliss led Spirit to the Eliminator in his first campaign but they finished second-bottom and bottom since, with the franchise winning just three out of 16 games in the past two years. Langer has previously coached Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash and is head coach of Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League. The appointment sees Langer return to Lord's, where he played for Middlesex as an overseas player between 1998 and 2000
