Former Australian cricketer Mike Hussey is set to pass on his vast knowledge and experience of cricket to the South African team during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. Through this low-key consultancy role, the Proteas will be hoping that Hussey can advise their players about the Australian conditions and give them tips on how to handle those conditions.
On Thursday, Cricket Australia confirmed the appointment after South Africa coach Russell Domingo, at the team’s official send-off in Johannesburg on Wednesday, said Hussey had been approached to work with his squad.
According to a report on news.com.au, Domingo said, “We’ve had some discussions with Mike Hussey about him joining us on a consultancy process. He’s a middle order batter of immense experience and knows conditions very well in Australia. He’ll play a very low-key role in the background.”
