Mike Hussey will be seen in the role of the coach in England's hundred-ball competition The Hundred. Hussey has been appointed as head coach of the team Welsh Fire.

Hussey replaces Gary Kirsten in the team. Welsh Fire had a poor first two seasons of the tournament under Kirsten. In the inaugural season in 2021, they finished seventh out of eight teams. On the other hand, they lost all the matches in the last season. They were eighth out of eight teams. As a result of such continuous failure of the team, the management could no longer trust Kirsten. Hussey has been appointed for this.

Hussey played 79 Tests, 185 ODIs, and 38 T20Is for Australia in his career. Apart from international cricket, he excelled in franchise cricket as well. He played in IPL for Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians.

Along with his playing career, Mike Hussey also has a rich coaching career. He has worked in franchise cricket. Currently, he is working as the batting coach of his former team Chennai Super Kings in IPL. The 47-year-old Hussey also coached Australia in the 2021 T20 World Cup. He worked as a 'mentor'. Australia won the T20 World Cup title for the first time in that event.

After that, he was involved in coaching in the 2022 T20 World Cup too. Hussey was added as the coaching consultant. Coach Hussey's team England won that tournament as well.

A rich coaching career, experience working in franchise cricket as well as working in England cricket have served as positives for Hussey.
