Mike Hussey: Australia recruit former Test batter for Ashes preparation
Cricket Australia announced today that former batter Michael Hussey will serve as a consultant coach for the 2027 Ashes and the ODI World Cup.
Welcoming the appointment, Australia's head coach Andrew McDonald cited the 'substantial international experience' Hussey brings from his career, which included representing his country in more than 300 games.
Later this month, Hussey will join the Australian setup for the T20 series against England, having recently declined interest from the visiting side.
Hussey expressed excitement about the formal role, stating, "I am extremely excited about being a part of the team in a more formal and meaningful role in the coming years." His focus will be providing guidance in the shortest format of the game.
The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will mark the sport's first appearance since 1900, where Hussey will serve as an advisor alongside his work for the next T20 World Cup cycle.
