According to media reports,&nbsp;Langer&nbsp;made a secret visit to Paine's home ahead of the first Ashes Test.
Langer&nbsp;bite: "He's one of the best people I have met in cricket so it was nice to go down and see him, and you'd have to ask him how he's going. I think when I saw him, he's obviously shattered with what's happened because he's been such an exemplary figure in Australian cricket for the last four years particularly, you know, his life's changed obviously so, but you have to ask him how he's going. All I know it was important to go and see him. We talk about looking after our boys having each other's backs. And it was a no brainer for me to go and see him."
Paine resigned from the Test captaincy after the sexting&nbsp;scandal was resurfaced and subsequently took an indefinite break from cricket over mental health concerns as he has been&nbsp;facing a constant backlash from society.

The CA chief on Saturday in a press conference acknowledged that the decision sent a wrong impression that this behaviour is acceptable and without serious consequence.

Rather than taking serious action, Cricket Australia brushed aside Tim Paine's infamous sexting&nbsp;scandal,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Richard&nbsp;Freudenstein, the current boss has called out CA's&nbsp;wrong decision. The CA chief on Saturday in a press conference acknowledged that the decision sent a wrong impression that this behaviour is acceptable and without serious consequence. Ahead of Ashes, Paine resigned from his post on Friday. This is after 3 years since the scandal took&nbsp;place.&nbsp; In 2018, Paine was found guilty of sending unwanted&nbsp;images of his genitalia to a co-worker&nbsp;but despite that, the 36-year-old cricketer was handed the captaincy after Steve Smith was forced to step down because of the ball-tampering scandal. Saying that the role of the Australian captain must be held to the highest standards, Freudenstein&nbsp;informed that the code of conduct is now appropriate and a full review of sexual harassment education has been undertaken.&nbsp;
