Australia coach Darren Lehmann on Tuesday said an increasingly punishing cricket calendar may leave him with "no choice" but to hand over responsibility for the country's one-day and Twenty20 sides, leaving him to focus solely on Tests. Health issues and a heavy workload has seen the 47-year-old miss several one-day and Twenty20 series in recent years, including the just-ended limited-overs tour of India. He returns to lead Australia in the upcoming Ashes series against England but sees a time when there is one coach for Tests and another for ODIs and T20s. Australia after a losing effort in the ODI series against India 4-1. Australia also lost against Bangladesh in the first Test match.

Australian Coach Darren Lehmann believes "I think it will get to a stage where I'll probably have to look at changing that set-up, former England coach Andy Flower he didn't like it so much, but I think the way that the game is going, you've got no choice now." Under Flower, England experimented with having a separate limited-overs coach, but the roles have since been combined again under Trevor Bayliss. Lehmann, who has coached Australia since 2013, said he would favour splitting duties between Tests and limited-overs, rather than having three coaches for the game's different formats.
