Could the cross guard work good in Muay Thai if you time how to use it right

I just started Muay Thai 5 months ago and I’m actually grasping the fundamentals that I’m learning from my coach pretty better than I expected I used to box when I was kid and competed in amateur boxing so that helps a lot, The gym I use to train at was at New York and my old boxing coach has taught us to use the cross guard mix with the high guard so its habit that I do a lot in Muay Thai sparring sometimes i get good counters and get to a good clinch position but there’s sometimes I get caught hard with body kicks, so is there a way to use it in Muay Thai and are there any Muay Thai fighters that use the cross guard in there fights?
