In his autobiography, Coach, released today, he says sports psychologist Dr Michael Lloyd does his best to bring players together and reduce tensions as much as possible.

He said players' individual needs and aspirations make for an "edgy" environment.

"The dynamic within a cricket dressing room reminds me of the movie Con Air,” Lehmann writes.  

“In that film, starring Nicolas Cage and John Malkovich, a prisoner transport plane is taken over by the inmates ... the plane is full of disparate characters and although all of them want the same thing – freedom – they all have their own ideas too.

“It makes for a dysfunctional and edgy environment to say the least. It might seem like an odd analogy, but in many ways it mirrors the situation we, as an international cricket team, find ourselves in.”
