Hussain quits as ODI captain

Nasser Hussain resigned as England one-day captain on Tuesday shortly after his side were knocked out of the World Cup. He made the announcement at a news conference after his team’s elimination was confirmed by Zimbabwe’s abandoned Group A game against Pakistan.

“I believe it is in the best interests of the one-day side if I step down as captain,” he said. “I would like to stress that I am keen to carry on as Test captain but that will be for other people to decide. I want to play 100 Test matches and captain England in the Test arena for several years yet.” A disillusioned Hussain, 34, said last month that he would review his future after the tournament.
