Finch "not going to comment" on Langer's contract extension but all praises for his contribution

Australia's coach Justin Langer's contract extension will be up for discussion as the time for renewal has come to the Cricket Australia boardroom. Langer, whose working style received some scathing criticism from the players, has expressed the desire to continue as head coach. While both Aaron Finch and Pat Cummins are likely to be consulted by Cricket Australia before a final decision is made, the former decided to stay silent in his suggestion.

"He has done a fantastic job. To win the World Cup when nobody really gave us a chance, then to dominate the Ashes 4-0, to almost get there 5-0, was super impressive," Finch was quoted as saying by the 'Sydney Morning Herald.

"I am not going to comment on what Cricket Australia's process will be there, but he has done an amazing job over the last few months, in particular."

In the past four months, the former Test opener has guided Australia to its maiden T20 World Cup title and a dominating 4-0 Ashes series win at home. The white-ball skipper said the governing body of the game in the country has a process to follow and he is still not sure what the outcome is going to be.

"Whatever happens from the Cricket Australia side of things, that is out of our control as players, but his contract is up. No doubt, there will be some talk there. I know Patty [Cummins] and I might be contacted about that. But I actually have got no idea - I have never been in a leadership role when somebody's coaching contract is up. So, as I said, he has done an unbelievable job. To see how good the environment has been through the T20 World Cup, then throughout the Ashes, is a credit to everyone there," Finch added.

Langer had taken charge of the team after the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa in 2018. His current contract is due to end in June.
