Former Australia coach Justin Langer lifts the lid on messy exit

• Langer reveals clash with interim chair Richard Freudenstein
• Langer says he was happy in role besides the bullshit politics'

Justin Langer has hit out at the bullshit politics" within Cricket Australia, taking particular aim at interim chairman Richard Freudenstein. Langer quit as coach of Australia in February after being offered a six-month contract extension despite guiding the team to T20 World Cup and Ashes glory.

A rumoured breakdown in the relationship between Langer and a core of senior players led to CA's move to push the 51-year-old towards the exit. A host of Australia's greatest Test players, including Mark Waugh, Adam Gilchrist, Ricky Ponting, Steve Waugh, Matthew Hayden and the late Shane Warne, lambasted CA for the way it treated Langer.
