Hussain quits captaincy as England fight to draw

A TEARFUL Nasser Hussain walked away from the England Test cricket captaincy last night admitting that he “felt tired and stale”.

Hussain, who stepped down as one-day skipper earlier this year, announced he was quitting with immediate effect after the first Test against South Africa was drawn at Edgbaston.

Michael Vaughan will take over as captain, after Hussain confessed he felt his time had passed as skipper.
