Former Australia batsman Michael Hussey will join South Africa’s coaching staff as a consultant during the World Cup.

Hussey will start attending South Africa’s training sessions and give them advice on how to succeed in Australian conditions.

“We’ve had some discussions with Mike Hussey about him joining us on a consultancy process,” South Africa head coach Russell Domingo said. “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.”
