Captaincy decison down to selectors, says Hussain LONDON, Sunday (Reuters) - Nasser Hussain has moved to clarify the position over his England captaincy, insisting it is up to the selectors. Hussain, 33, seemed to indicate in an interview over the New Year he would probably step down after next year's World Cup. But, writing in The Sunday Telegraph, he says: "I want to make it clear that it is not up to me to dictate how long I do the job. The selectors make those decisions. "What I have said is that I would like to be captain for another 15 months. "We have a packed programme over that period and there is no point looking beyond. I am not sitting on the fence - it is a long time and I intend to continue throwing myself into it. "It is only after the World Cup that I will sit down with the selectors and decide what is best for English cricket." Hussain captained England in the recent 1-0 test series loss to India and heads back there soon for a one-day series ahead of a three-test tour of New Zealand starting in February. |
