EXPLAINED: Justin langer lost the wrong players and australia exit was kick in the face | Vintage Vibes

David Warner has called Cricket Australia's decision to only offer Justin Langer a six-month contract extension before his eventual resignation as head a "kick in the face", while admitting the 52-year-old "lost the wrong players".

In the second season of Amazon Prime documentary series 'The Test', Australia's players opened up about Langer's exit which came after he rejected the short-term contract extension and stood down, citing a lack of support from senior players, support staff and the board.

In the series, Warner's opening partner Usman Khawaja claimed that some players were "afraid" of Langer, while praising him for bringing "humility back into the Australian cricket team".
