Michael Hussey and David Saker have been added to the England men's coaching staff for next month's T20 World Cup in Australia.

Former Australia international Michael Hussey and Victorian David Saker have joined the England men's coaching team for the upcoming 2022 T20 World Cup, due to start in Australia next month.

England have added more Australian know-how to their coaching mix in Saker and Hussey. Head Coach Matthew Mott will be joined by two experienced coaches to support him on his first-ever ICC Men's T20 World Cup stint.

Saker will join the England squad in Pakistan ahead of the seven-game T20I series that begins next week in Karachi. On the other hand, Hussey will join the team when England arrive in Australia on October, where the Jos Buttler-led side will play three T20Is against the host country before beginning their campaign in the multi-team event against Afghanistan on October 22.

Hussey, the former Australia international who currently works as batting coach for Chennai Super Kings, and fellow Australian Saker, who was England's Test bowling coach from 2010 to 2015, have been signed by Matthew Mott, England's head white ball coach, to add locals glimpses of the squad's preparations ahead of the tournament in Australia, which begins on October 16.

The pair will expand the existing coaching structure, with Mott currently working with two assistants in Carl Hopkinson and Richard Dawson. The tour's Pakistan leg - England's first in the country since 2005 - will be captained by Jos Buttler, although Moeen Ali is expected to lead the team for the opening games in Karachi while Buttler recovers from a calf injury.

England are also reportedly on the verge of appointing a new national selector after deciding to relinquish the formal role Ed Smith held until April 2021. According to The Telegraph, Nick Knight and Steven Finn are among the top contenders alongside Steve for the position. Harmison also believed he had expressed interest in applying.
