Mitchell Johnson has launched a savage attack on his former teammate and current Australia Test captain Pat Cummins, accusing him of being 'gutless' and 'not respecting' former head coach Justin Langer.
Langer quit his role on Saturday, rejecting the offer of a short-term extension from Cricket Australia, citing a lack of support from senior players, support staff and the board.
In the lead up to Langer's resignation, Cummins has repeatedly been asked whether he wanted to see the coach remain in charge but always stopped short of calling for Cricket Australia to extend his contract.
