Michael Hussey and Brad Haddin have thrown their hats into the ring as Australia's next generation of cricket coaches.
The pair will each assist head coach Troy Cooley and the Australia A team in upcoming matches against their South African and Indian counterparts later this year in Queensland.
Former Test quick Ryan Harris will also continue his coaching role throughout the tour as the team's bowling mentor, while Hussey's brother, David, will come on board as the batting coach.
The three A-level sides will be part of a quadrangular one-day series also including an Australian National Performance Squad.
"Brad, David and Mike have all continued to be very active even as their playing careers draw to a close," Cricket Australia high-performance manager Pat Howard said.
"Their experience and insights will be prized when they have the chance to work with the young players who will get their opportunity during the A series."
Haddin will work with upcoming glovemen Peter Handscomb, Sam Whiteman and Cameron Bancroft in an unofficial two-Test series against South Africa A in July and August and says he will be looking forward to testing out coaching as a future career.
"Coaching is something that I'm not sure if I want to go into or not so it's a good opportunity to get your toe in the water and see if you want to go in," Haddin said.
