Former Australia star Michael Hussey will work with the South African side during the 2015 Cricket World Cup.
Cricket Australia (CA) confirmed Hussey will work as a consultant to the Proteas during the six-week tournament, with the 39-year-old to attend training sessions and give advice on how to play in Australian conditions.
“We’ve had some discussions with Mike Hussey about him joining us on a consultancy process,” South Africa coach Russell Domingo told CA.
“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.”
