Mike Hussey considers England batting coach role

Former Australian Test cricketer Mike Hussey is considering a potential role as the batting coach for the England men's cricket team. The possibility arose following an informal discussion with England's new Test head coach, Stephen Fleming.

Hussey, who has a long-standing professional relationship with Fleming from their time together at the Chennai Super Kings, stated he would not dismiss the opportunity. While acknowledging the potential awkwardness of coaching England against his native Australia in the Ashes series, Hussey noted that he views coaching as working with a team rather than against an opponent.

Any decision will depend on several factors, including the impact on his family life. No formal agreement has been reached, and Hussey indicated he would not be rushing into a final decision.
