Lucknow Super Giants appoint Justin Langer as their new head coach

Former Australia cricketer and head coach Justin Langer has been appointed as the new head coach of the Lucknow Super Giants for the next season. Notably, the franchise bid adieu to the former coach, Andy Flower, earlier in the day as his two-year contract got over. During Flower’s tenure, Lucknow Super Giants had good outings in both seasons of the IPL (2022 and 2023) as they managed to reach the playoffs of both editions.

Flower is currently in a consultancy role with Australia at the men’s Ashes. On the other hand, Langer stepped down from his coaching duties for the Australian cricket team in 2022. Currently, the legendary opener is working as a broadcaster in the ongoing Ashes 2023. 

Meanwhile, in the latest developments in the Lucknow Super Giants franchise, they took to Twitter to make the announcement of Langer’s appointment through their short post.

The social media handle of the franchise even dropped a hint for the fans a few minutes before the official announcement as they shared a collage of American actor and singer Justin Timberlake with people having food in a ‘Langar’ (feast).
