Justin Langer has been named as Australia's new head coach, just over a month after Darren Lehmann resigned from the job following the ball-tampering scandal that engulfed the Cape Town Test.



Langer begins his new role on May 22, for a four-year spell that will see him coach Australia in two Ashes series, and the next 20-over and 50-over World Cups.

Last October, ThinkProgress asked why Cosby and Polanski were still in the academy , which had just kicked out alleg...
