KKR rope in Mills, Hussey

Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday named former New Zealand pacer Kyle Mills as the Indian Premier League side’s new bowling coach.

Mills, 40, ended his playing career in 2015 as New Zealand’s second highest wicket-taker in one-day internationals with 240 wickets from 170 matches.

David Hussey, a former Knight Riders player and Australian international, has been named as a top advisor to New Zealand head coach Brendon McCullum.

“They bring a wealth of experience as professionals and are terrific individuals,” Knight Riders chief executive Venky Mysore said in a statement.
