Former Australia cricketer and Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) mentor David Hussey is excited to join coach Brendon McCullum to work in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020.

Hussey expressed his eagerness in a tweet after IPL 2020 was confirmed to be played on September 19. The 13th edition in IPL will take place in UAE after ICC T20 World Cup got canceled.

Hussey posted a picture with McCullum from the first IPL when they played together for Knight Riders. "Enjoyed playing with @Bazmccullum and can't wait to hopefully get working with him and @KKRiders soon," Hussey tweeted.

McCullum is also waiting to have the company of his 'brother'. Responding to Hussey's tweet, he said the feeling is mutual.

"Likewise D Huss!!! See you soon brother," he tweeted. The final of IPL 2020 is scheduled for November 8.
