Australia's new coach Justin Langer wants players to 'earn respect on and of the field'

Newly appointed Australia Coach Justin Langer will charge his players with winning back the "respect" of the cricket world and said it was "humbling" to be appointed to the role. The 47-year-old, who played 105 Tests and eight one-day internationals for his country, has signed a four-year deal to take over from Darren Lehmann.Lehmann stepped down from the role in the wake of the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa in March. .A gritty opening batsman who played in some of Australia's greatest-ever teams, Langer takes over a depleted side, with disgraced former captain Steve Smith and his deputy David Warner
serving year-long bans in the fall-out from South Africa.At his first press conference after being unveiled as the new head coach, Langer said "For me, I think one of the things that's really important is we keep looking to earn respect."He further added, ?He wanted Australia's cricket team to "earn respect on and off the field"."To me that's worth more than all the gold in the world," he said.Perth-born Langer scored more than 7,500 runs in 105 tests, including 23 centuries, before retiring with a slew of greats at the end of the 2006/07 Ashes series. He believes, "It's not just about how we play our cricket, it's about being good citizens and good Australians.?
