Summary

Stephen Fleming has approached Michael Hussey to serve as the batting coach for the England Test team. Fleming, who recently became head coach, is exploring options for his backroom staff. Hussey is currently head coach of Welsh Fire in The Hundred and has a long history of collaboration with Fleming at Chennai Super Kings. The potential appointment would see Hussey transition from his role in the IPL to coaching England's batting unit, coinciding with upcoming Test matches and a tour of South Africa in December, where Marcus Trescothick will act as interim coach.
