Hussey considering coaching role with England for Ashes

Stephen Fleming has approached Hussey to help England’s batting, and the former Australia batter says family time will factor into his decision.

  • Former Australia Test stalwart Mike Hussey is considering an offer to assist England with their batting during next year's Ashes series, following an informal approach from England coach Stephen Fleming.
  • Fleming, who succeeds caretaker mentor Marcus Trescothick in December, shared a dressing room with Hussey for 15 years at Indian Premier League outfit Chennai Super Kings.
  • Known as 'Mr Cricket,' Hussey previously coached England to their 2022 Twenty20 World Cup title, though he admitted wearing the kit of Australia's greatest cricketing rivals felt 'weird.'
  • While Hussey loves coaching, family commitments leave him undecided; he stated he is 'not in a position to say yay or nay any time soon' regarding the offer.
  • Fleming plans a smarter approach to England's Test cricket, moving away from the reckless 'Bazball' era, which Hussey praised as a 'shrewd' tactical shift for the upcoming series.
