Hussey has had an informal approach from England’s new red-ball coach Stephen Fleming, the duo having spent 15 years as team-mates and then coaches at Indian Premier League side Chennai Super Kings.
“We obviously get on really well and work a lot together,” former Test stalwart Hussey told Fox Sports, where he is employed as a commentator. Australian great Mike Hussey could face his own country in the Ashes after saying Friday he was open to joining England as their Test batting coach. “So it was just a bit of a passing comment, really saying, ‘Look, what do you reckon? Would you think about being the batting coach?'”

Hussey, known as “Mr Cricket” for his technical expertise, has just returned home after coaching Welsh Fire in The Hundred and said he had not given it proper consideration yet. “To be honest I have not been able to give it any thought whatsoever,” he said. “I have worked with England once before at the T20 World Cup (in 2022), and I must admit it did feel very weird pulling on that training shirt for the first time,” he said.
“Would I? I mean, I wouldn’t say never to anything really. I just love the coaching side of the game, and just to be able to work with different players.
