Justin Langer's most recent brief national appointment keeps on powering the predominant conviction that he is bound to at last succeed occupant Australian head mentor Darren Lehmann.

The Western Australian coach will assume control over the reins for Australia's three-coordinate Twenty20 International arrangement against Sri Lanka in February after Cricket Australia's (CA) board sanctioned the arrangement on Thursday (December 8). Langer will fill-in for Lehmann, will's identity a portion of Australia's voyage through India, prevailing over a few noticeable applicants including Shane Warne, Brad Haddin, Jason Gillespie, Ricky Ponting and Mike Hussey, apparently. There is a hypothesis of Ponting, the previous Australian commander, being named as Langer's right-hand mentor for the arrangement.

In maybe the most noticeably awful kept mystery in Australian cricket, Langer is seen as the possible successor to Lehmann, who is contracted until 2019. In like manner, Langer went about as between time mentor amid Australia's One-Day International voyage through the Caribbean mid-year when Lehmann enjoyed a reprieve.

On this event, the undeniably congested cricket logbook has brought about a conflict in arrangements with the T20I arrangement against Sri Lanka planned in the meantime as Australia's Test voyage through India. It has given another chance to Langer to showcase his instructing abilities on the universal stage yet the 46-year-old trusted it wasn't a perfect circumstance.

"I believe it's still truly essential to have one individual supervising the entire thing," Langer said on Friday (December 9). "Ideally, you have one skipper and one mentor regulating it all.

"Be that as it may, in conditions such as this (where there's a calendar struggle) you can have great individuals to assist when required," he included. "Be that as it may, I genuinely don't surmise that is the path forward (on a changeless premise). It can get to be distinctly weakened messages some of the time."

"One of our points of interest at the Scorchers is we've possessed the capacity to have that coherence of one mentor and the same mentors ideal all through the framework," he said. On Thursday, Anthony Everard, the BBL manager, uncovered that CA was thinking about facilitating a Big Bash coordinate on Christmas Day later on.
