England set to hire David Saker and David Hussey for T20 World Cup

David Saker and David Hussey are set for white-ball coaching roles during England’s T20 World Cup campaign in Australia this winter amid a broader move to split the international support staff by way of format.

Brendon McCullum, the men’s Test head coach, is looking to begin a new slimmed- down operation on his side of the equation for the tour of Pakistan in December, with Marcus Trescothick, Paul Collingwood and Jeetan Patel – all already on the books – becoming his three chosen assistants.

And Matthew Mott, the men’s white-ball head coach, will similarly have three permanent deputies in his coaching team long term, with an expectation that Richard Dawson, currently lead pathway coach, may well make an internal move.

However, the upcoming T20 tour of Pakistan that departs next week, and then the T20 World Cup in Australia this October, are deemed to require two short-term hire, with Saker, England bowling coach from 2010 to 2015, and Hussey, the former Australia and Nottinghamshire middle order player, understood to be in the frame.
