Hussey considering batting coaching role with England for Ashes series

Former Australian cricketer Mike Hussey has expressed interest in considering a batting coaching role for England ahead of next year's Ashes series. The offer came from Stephen Fleming, who recently took over as England's coach following Brendon McCullum. Hussey, known for his deep cricket knowledge and love for the game, acknowledged that there are various factors to consider before making a decision.

He stated that he would not rule out the possibility of taking on the role, as he genuinely enjoys helping players improve regardless of their nationality. Hussey previously coached England to victory in the Twenty20 World Cup in 2022 and admitted that wearing the England kit while coaching against Australia in an Ashes series would feel odd. However, he emphasized that he would focus on coaching rather than competing against the team.
