MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia coach Darren Lehmann will step aside to allow Justin Langer to guide the team during a one-day tournament in the Caribbean next year.

Western Australia coach Langer has long been favoured to take over the top job eventually and Lehmann said the June tour would give the former test batsman some valuable experience while giving himself a break from the rigours of the job.
