Hussey retired in January with 6235 Test runs at an average of 51.52. The 37-year-old veteran of 79 Tests said it was flattering to hear Arthur emphasising on his relevance during what has been a nightmare tour of India.
"It's extremely flattering," Hussey was quoted as saying by 'the Sydney Morning Herald.
"But I've moved on and I really don't want to be back in that pressure-cooker environment, particularly leading into the Ashes," he added.
"It's going to be an extremely stressful time for all the boys. I'm really looking forward to having a winter at home and just having some time with the family and being part of some normal life," he said.

Hussey said the current crop of players needs to backed completely for a better future.
"In some ways, having a tough tour like India can sometimes really galvanise the group," said Hussey.
