Australia have appointed former batter Michael Hussey as a long-term batting consultant to support their preparations for the 2027 Ashes and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Hussey will work with the Australian set-up as the team plans for two significant future events. His role is focused on batting as Australia looks ahead to the Ashes series in 2027 and the Olympic cricket competition in Los Angeles the following year.
The appointment gives Australia access to Hussey’s expertise on a continuing basis during the build-up to both tournaments. No further details about the length of his agreement or the specific responsibilities within the coaching structure have been provided.
Australia’s preparations for the 2027 Ashes and the 2028 Olympics will now include Hussey’s contribution as a batting consultant. The latest position is that he has been recruited for the long term to assist the team’s development ahead of those events.
