Justin Langer has declared Cameron Green must bat No.3 in the Ashes, as the former national coach voiced concern about the instability of the Australian batting order ahead of a defining summer for the teams of Pat Cummins and Ben Stokes. At the same time Australian cricket’s power brokers were meeting in Melbourne to discuss the future of the Big Bash League, Langer also warned against rushing to sell-off teams after his recent experience of the Hundred in England.

But former Australian opener Langer said on the other side of the country that during his time coaching the London Spirit he was made well aware that the tourists think an uncertain Australian batting order is their best chance to regain the urn this summer.
