Overview

  • Cricket Australia announced Friday that Mike Hussey will join as a consultant coach and T20 advisor and will start work with the T20I series against England from Nov. 21.
  • His formal remit covers the 2027 Ashes and the 2027 ODI World Cup plus advisory duties for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and the 2028 T20 World Cup.
  • Hussey rejected an approach from England’s new Test coach Stephen Fleming and recently left Chennai Super Kings, moves that cleared the way for an expanded role with Australia.
  • The board framed the hire as a direct response to recent red‑ball failures, citing Australia’s first home Test loss to Bangladesh and the 2‑1 defeat in South Africa with late batting collapses.
  • Cricket Australia says the part‑time, flexible consultancy will let Hussey keep other commitments while providing technical batting work that could affect selection, preparation and short‑term tactics.
