Former skipper Michael Clarke feels Justin Langer will step down as head coach if Australia add an Ashes victory to their recent T20 World Cup title. Langer, who was appointed as Australia`s chief coach in the aftermath of the infamous 2018 ball-tampering scandal, helped deliver the country`s maiden T20 World Cup title on Sunday.

"He wanted Australia to be the best team in the world. He wanted us to play a brand of cricket that he`s proud of, and we`ve just won the World Cup," Clarke was quoted as saying by the Sydney Morning Herald. "If we can win the Ashes as well, he`s achieved everything that he`s come here for and knowing Lang (Langer) he won`t coach for the wrong reasons," he added. The former Test opener`s job had been under the scanner since Australia`s disappointing loss to India in Tests earlier this year but he was backed by Cricket Australia (CA) chief executive officer Nick Hockley.
