Australia coach Darren Lehmann revealed on Monday that he will be stepping down from his position and not seek to renew his current contract that expires at the end of 2019, and the English summer season in 18 months will be his last. Under Lehmann, Australia regained the Ashes after beating England in the third Test at Perth last week to take an unassailable 3-0 lead.
“That will be it,” Lehmann said when asked whether he will seek a new contract beyond 2019.
“It will be a case of too much time, too much travel.”
After replacing sacked coach Mickey Arthur following a disastrous tour of India in 2013, Australia have won two Ashes series at home and lost two in England, while also winning the 2015 World Cup under his wing.
