Stephen Fleming wants Australian Ashes hero and CSK colleague Michael Hussey as England Test batting coach
With Stephen Fleming now set as the head coach for the English Test side, the New Zealander wants CSK colleague and Ashes hero Michael Hussey as the batting coach.
Former Australia batter Michael Hussey is reportedly the top choice for England's new Test batting coach, Stephen Fleming. The two have a strong coaching and playing relationship, having spent years together at Chennai Super Kings. Fleming, who recently took over as England's head coach, has already made contact with Hussey to gauge his interest in the position.
If the move goes through, it would reunite the two men in England colors, and also carry an Ashes subplot given Hussey's status as one of Australia's most respected batters in recent times. The appointment would provide England with a World Cup-winning coach and someone who understands Fleming's methods.
