Hussain hits back
LONDON, May 11: England captain Nasser Hussain hit back on Saturday at former skipper Mike Gatting who last week said the Essex batsman was putting personal ambition ahead of the interests of the national side.
Hussain insisted he was still the right man to lead the Test side even though Gatting said new one-day captain Michael Vaughan ought to be in charge of both teams.
But Hussain, 35, speaking ahead of England’s first Test against Zimbabwe at Lord’s, told the News of the World: “I believe England will be a better side on Thursday week (May 22) because I’m leading them at Lord’s — and no one else.
“If that sounds selfish or big-headed so be it.”—AFP
