Justin Langer has played a key role in regrouping the Australian squad as a coach. He is a strong personality right from his debut days. This Western Australian player opened the innings in Tests for the team along with Matthew Hayden in the 2000s. This pair could take on any bowling line-up in the world with some explosive batting display.

He represented Australia in 105 Tests scoring close to 7,700 runs at the top of the order. On the contrary, his performance in the colored jersey was limited. He was part of the ODI squad in his early part of the career with just eight matches under his belt where he managed 160 runs. After his match against England in 1997, his ODI career never took off which was the reason for him not making it to the world cup side. However, He would love to lift the World cup as Australian coach.
