CSK reportedly to part ways with Michael Hussey

Chennai Super Kings have reportedly decided to part ways with batting coach Michael Hussey ahead of the 2027 Indian Premier League season, as the franchise reshapes its coaching staff. The decision has been attributed to reporting by Cricbuzz, and the supplied reports contain no direct confirmation from CSK or Hussey. Hussey joined the franchise as a player in 2008 and returned to its coaching staff as batting coach in 2018. He held the role through the 2026 season. Reports say CSK management has informed him of the decision, which would end his eight-year tenure as batting coach and his association with the team as a player and coach. The reported move follows two confirmed changes to the coaching setup. CSK appointed Zaheer Khan as head coach, replacing Stephen Fleming, and named Mohit Sharma bowling coach in place of Eric Simons. The franchise has not identified a successor to Hussey as batting coach in the supplied reports. The status of fielding coach James Foster also remains unsettled. Reports say a decision on extending his contract is pending.
