Lehmann announces shock resignation

Australia coach stands down, with final Test against South Africa to be his last

Darren Lehmann has resigned as head coach of Australia's men's team. 

Having watched the emotional press conferences of Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft earlier today after the suspended duo returned home to face the media glare following their roles in the ball-tampering scandal, Lehmann said now was the time for a new coach of the national side.
