To accelerate running b/w the wickets during Ashes series, Australia

Olympic Champion, is now helping Aussie batsmen to boost the running b/w the wickets.
Australia hire world record holder Usain Bolt ahead of Ashes 2017
"It's all about explosiveness, and that’s one thing
I’ve noticed with cricket – they don’t really have a lot of explosiveness when
they're running," Usain Bolt told Herald Sun newspaper.
"They seem to always take off at a slow rate. Getting
that right will definitely help people."
The world fastest man, who turns 31, has retired from
athletics after August’s World Championship in London, told that he will stress
on the awareness of running while batting.
Peter Handscomb told that Usain tips helped him ahead of
first Test match.
"He was giving us a few pointers on how to get a little
bit faster," Australia batsman said. "We'll give it a crack.
"He was trying to get us nice and low in the turn and
in and out. The first couple of steps are key and if we can get them right,
we'll be fast.
"Obviously he's the fastest man ever so if we can have
the title with him, that'd be cool."
Usain told that he had been busy preparing for a tilt at
soccer after his retirement.
"It's something that I want to do. I'm trying to get
fit now," Bolt said.
"My doctor finally passed me after my hamstring
problems at the world championships, so now I can start training.
"I've started training while I'm here and trying to get
into shape before I get home and next year I'll get a trial and we'll take it
from there."
