Stephen Fleming approaches Michael Hussey for England Test batting coach role

Stephen Fleming has spoken to Michael Hussey about joining his England Test staff. The two spent 15 years together at Chennai Super Kings before Fleming took the England job.

Hussey is currently coaching Welsh Fire in The Hundred. He also worked as a consultant when England won the 2022 T20 World Cup. The ECB has yet to make a formal offer, but Fleming wants Hussey for the batting coach post.

Marcus Trescothick remains interim head coach for the three-Test series against Pakistan that starts August 19 at Headingley. Fleming takes over officially when England tour South Africa in December.
