'''Nasser Hussain''' {{post-nominals|OBE}} (born 28 March 1968) is a [[British people|British]] cricket commentator and former cricketer who captained the [[England cricket team]] between 1999 and 2003, with his overall international career extending from 1990 to 2004. A pugnacious right-handed batsman, Hussain scored over 30,000 runs from more than 650 matches across all [[First-class cricket|first-class]] and [[List A cricket|List-A]] cricket, including 62 centuries. His highest Test score of 207, scored in the first Test of the [[Australian cricket team in England in 1997|1997 Ashes]] at [[Edgbaston Cricket Ground|Edgbaston]], was described by ''[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack|Wisden]]'' as "touched by genius".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/statsguru/engine/match/63754.html|title=England v Australia Scorecard|work=ESPN Cricinfo.com|access-date=2009-09-28}}</ref> He played 96 Test matches and 88 [[One Day International]] games in total. In Tests he scored 5,764 runs, and he took 67 catches, fielding predominantly in the second slip and gully.
Born in [[Chennai|Madras]] in [[India]], Hussain was led into cricket by his father, and his family moved to England when Hussain was a young child. He joined Essex in 1987 after developing from a [[Spin bowling|spin bowler]] to batsman while at school and playing for the various Essex youth teams, as the leg-spin of his youth deserted him. He was selected for England initially on the back of 990 runs scored for Essex in the [[County Championship]] of 1989, though injury and poor form would limit his international caps during the early 1990s to three Tests of a 1990 West Indies tour, and four further matches in 1993. Only in 1996 did he become a regular England Test cricketer.
Although regarded as somewhat of a firebrand in his youth,<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/153296.html | title=First Cornhill Test – England v Australia | publisher=ESPN CricInfo | work=Wisden | year=1998 | access-date=2 March 2014 | author=Etheridge, John}}</ref> Hussain succeeded [[Alec Stewart]] as captain in 1999 and led England in forty-five Test matches until resigning in 2003. Overseeing four consecutive Test series victories and England's rise to third in the Test rankings, Hussain is regarded as one of England's most able captains. [[Simon Barnes]] of ''The Times'' wrote that Hussain was "perhaps the finest captain to hold the office."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/cricket/article434705.ece|title=Why we should present ashes to man who slew weasel of defeatism|last=Barnes|first=Simon |date=28 May 2004 |work=[[The Times]] Online|access-date=2009-09-28 | location=London}}</ref> After resigning the captaincy, Hussain played on in Test cricket until the debut Test of future captain [[Andrew Strauss]] – the ability of whom was witnessed by Hussain who scored a century in the same match – and growing calls for him to leave the team, prompted him to yield his position and retire. He joined [[Sky Sports]] as a commentator shortly thereafter. His 2005 autobiography ''Playing With Fire'' won the Best Autobiography category of the 2005 [[British Sports Book Awards]].<ref name="British Sports Book Awards">{{cite web|url=https://sportsbookawards.com/previous-winners/|title=Previous winners|publisher=British Sports Book Awards |access-date=2020-03-29}}</ref>
==Early years==
Hussain was born in [[Chennai|Madras]], India as a [[Muslim]]. His father, [[Jawad Hussain|Raza Jawad 'Joe' Hussain]], was an Indian Tamil Muslim and a keen cricketer and [[field hockey]] player. He was a descendant of [[Muhammad Ali Khan Wallajah]], the [[Nawab]] of [[Arcot State]] in the second half of the 18th century.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Hussain |first1=Abid |title=Hussain makes history |url=https://www.rediff.com/sports/1999/jul/06nasser.htm |website=[[Rediff.com]] |access-date=18 August 2018 |date=6 July 1999}}</ref> Nasser's mother Shireen (originally Patricia Price)<ref name="mother1">{{cite web|url=http://www.cricketcountry.com/articles/nasser-hussain-the-man-who-transformed-english-cricket-with-duncan-fletcher-24564|access-date=6 January 2017|title=Nasser Hussain: The man who transformed English cricket with Duncan Fletcher|date=28 March 2013}}</ref> is English.<ref name="mother2">{{cite web|last1=Scott|first1=Brough|title=To have my son captain England in India.

His father moved the family to England in 1975. Hussain recalled in his 2005 autobiography that the family gave up a prosperous life in India – where the family were comfortable – in order to obtain for the children the benefits of the English educational system.<ref>Hussain (2005) p. 29.</ref> The family moved to [[Ilford]], and Hussain later took charge of the indoor cricket school in Ilford where he used to bowl for hours on end at his elder brothers. He was a talented leg-spin bowler, and with his ability starting to show, at just eight years old, Hussain was selected to play for the Essex Under-11s, and at 12 years old and was the youngest to play for Essex Under-15s.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/2379577/Nasser-Hussain-factfile.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/2379577/Nasser-Hussain-factfile.html |archive-date=12 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=Nasser Hussain factfile|date=25 May 2004|work=[[Www.telegraph.co.uk|Telegraph.co.uk]]|access-date=2009-09-28 | location=London}}{{cbignore}}</ref> He meanwhile continued his education at [[Forest School, Walthamstow]].
At the age of 14 Hussain was selected to play for England Schools where he first came into contact with his friend and future England colleague [[Michael Atherton|Mike Atherton]]. Born five days apart, Hussain and Atherton soon found their careers progressing in parallel as they captained, batted and bowled [[Leg spin|legspin]] for England age-group teams.<ref name="Wisden Almanack">{{cite web| url=http://www.cricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/154922.html | title= Five Cricketers of the year – Scyld Berry | publisher=[[Wisden Almanack]] | date=5 September 2009 | access-date=2009-09-05}}</ref> As well as Atherton, who was considered the "Golden Boy" of the North at the time, Hussain played with and against others such as [[Mark Ramprakash]], [[Graham Thorpe]] and [[Trevor Ward]].<ref>Hussain (2005) p. 37.</ref> At the age of 15, and captain of England Schools, Hussain "grew a foot in height in the winter" and the trajectory of his bowling was altered. He recounts "I went from bowling out [[Graham Gooch]] in the indoor school with everyone watching, to hitting the roof of the net or bowling triple-bouncers to deadly silence."<ref name="Wisden Almanack"/>
Hussain's father initially refused to accept that his son could not bowl to the previous high standards and continued to push him into bowling, while Hussain, full of frustration at his sudden loss of ability felt he was letting his father down.<ref>Hussain (2005) pp. 41–45.</ref> Concerns over his father's expectations of him would continue throughout Hussain's career, as he related in his biography after retiring.<ref>Hussain (2005) pp. 30–35.</ref> After the loss of his bowling, Hussain dropped behind his contemporaries; Atherton, Ramprakash and [[Martin Bicknell]] all began to receive professional county contracts while Hussain was not being selected for representative games and England tours. Hussain switched to batting while he was still captain of Essex under-16s and moved himself up the order to get more runs and to bowl less. His batting progressed, and in that year he became the first under-16 at Forest to score 1,000 runs in a season since 1901.<ref name="Wisden Almanack"/> Hussain himself admitted that batting never came as naturally to him as leg-spin bowling. Throughout his career he batted with little left elbow and plenty of bottom hand, and backed-up with the bat in his right hand.<ref name="Wisden Almanack"/>
While continuing with his cricket, he also studied [[Natural science|Natural Sciences]] at the [[Durham University|University of Durham]] – a strong cricketing university – where he belonged to the [[College of St Hild and St Bede, Durham|College of St Hild and St Bede]]. He graduated in 1989 with a [[Bachelor of Science]] (BSc) degree.<ref>{{cite web|title=Durham University sporting excellence on show at The Ashes|url=https://www.dur.ac.uk/news/newsitem/?itemno=18405|work=News|publisher=Durham University|access-date=12 August 2013|date=2 August 2013}}</ref>
==Test cricket==
Hussain made his Test cricket debut in 1990 against the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]] with the match ending just before lunch on the final day. England won the test by nine wickets, but lost the series 2–1<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/current/story/152032.html|title=WEST INDIES v ENGLAND 1989-90|work=ESPN Cricinfo.com|access-date=2009-09-28}}</ref>
Hussain was subsequently not picked for the next three years. He was regarded as a bit of a "hot-head", and his fiery temper briefly jeopardised his prospects of an international career.<ref name="The BBC">{{Citation | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/3750083.stm|title=Nasser Hussain England's man of Steel | access-date = 25 September 2010 | publisher =BBC | date=27 May 2004}}</ref> At Essex Hussain continued to score runs and impress his county colleague and England captain Graham Gooch enough to have a Test reprieve. So at the 3rd Ashes Test of 1993, Hussain joined an England team. Hussain scored 71 and 47 not out, which was enough to see him selected for the rest of the series. It was however not enough to secure his place for the subsequent winter tour, nor for that matter the next three years of Test matches.
Hussain was picked again for a Test series against India in the summer of 1996. The number 3 batting position had been troublesome for England for some time. England had tried all manner of combinations at No. 3, from the left-field [[Jason Gallian]] to the veteran [[Robin Smith (cricketer)|Robin Smith]], via the temperamentally suspect pairing of [[Graeme Hick]] and Mark Ramprakash. "A lot is made of your batting position," Hussain recalled to Cricinfo, "but I always felt, and I did back then when [[David Lloyd (cricketer)|David Lloyd]] rang me up and asked me to bat No. 3, that if you're good enough to be playing Test cricket, you should be good enough to move from No. 5 to No. 3".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/engvwi2009/content/story/403292.html|title=Shades of Hussain as Bopara arrives|last=Miller|first=Andrew|date=6 May 2009|work=ESPN Cricinfo.com|access-date=2009-09-28}}</ref>
Hussain scored 128 in the first innings. Hussain was awarded Man of The Match and with another century in the last Test that summer was awarded Man of the Series.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/current/story/153535.html|title=ENGLAND v INDIA|first=Field|last=David|work=ESPN Cricinfo.com|access-date=2009-09-28}}</ref>
===Test captain===
Hussain was the [[captain (cricket)|captain]] of the England team for 45 [[Test cricket|Test match]]es from 1999 to 2003; as of 2021 the sixth most for an England captain, with his 17 Test victories the seventh most as England captain. His percentage of Tests won was higher than any of the previous eight captains since [[Bob Willis]] retired in 1984.
Hussain became Test captain in July 1999, taking over from Alec Stewart for the series against [[New Zealand national cricket team|New Zealand]] at home, after which he was booed by the England fans as he and his team stood on the pavilion balcony. In 2000 he led England to a 3–1 victory over the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]] at home, and in that winter, the England team beat both [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] and [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]] away. Under Hussain, England won four Test series in a row and rose to third place in the ICC Test Championship table when it was launched, after being ninth and last in the prototype Wisden World Championship in September 1999.
Hussain was captain of both the Test and [[One Day International]] England teams until after the [[2003 Cricket World Cup]], when England failed to make the second round after boycotting their match against [[Zimbabwe national cricket team|Zimbabwe]] in [[Harare]], citing security concerns. But as he stated in his autobiography ''Playing With Fire'', the whole Zimbabwe question and the responsibility of whether or not to play against Zimbabwe was left to the captain and it was a question that "kept him awake at night".<ref>Hussain (2005) pp. 2–10.</ref>
Immediately after the 2003 Cricket World Cup, he stepped down as one-day captain, being replaced by [[Michael Vaughan]]. Later in 2003, Hussain announced his retirement as Test captain after England's Test series against [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]], again being replaced by Vaughan.
Hussain continued as a batsman in the Test team until May 2004; in his final Test, against New Zealand at [[Lord's]], he scored 34 and 103 not out, hitting the winning runs.
[[Sachin Tendulkar]] wrote in his autobiography ''Playing It My Way: My Autobiography'' that
<blockquote>Among the Captains I have played against, I consider Nasser Hussein the best. He was an excellent strategist ... He was a very good thinker about the game and was proactive. Nasser would not place a fielder in a particular position after a shot was played. Rather, he had the ability to anticipate the shot and would place a fielder well in advance, making a real difference to his team.<ref>Sachin Tendulkar, ''Playing It My Way: My Autobiography'', with Boria Majmuder, 2014, Hodder & Stoughton</ref></blockquote>
Hussain has the record of the most consecutive Test [[Toss (cricket)|tosses]] lost as captain, losing 10 in a row between November 2000 and December 2001.<ref>[https://twitter.com/AWSStats/status/1217764153940742144 Andrew Samson, Cricket Statistician, Twitter]</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/current/team/1.html|title=ESPNcricinfo.com Statsguru - England - Test matches - Team analysis|website=Cricinfo}}</ref>
==One Day Internationals==
In NatWest trophy, Hussain's highest score of 115 occurred against India in the summer of 2002, during a game that was described by [[BBC]] correspondent [[Jonathan Agnew]] as "the most exciting one-day international I have ever seen."<ref>{{Citation | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/2126843.stm|title=Young Stars Shine at Lords | access-date = 26 September 2010 | publisher =BBC Sport | date=13 July 2002}}</ref> For some time before the game, Hussain's insistence on batting at number three and even his inclusion in the team had been repeatedly questioned by several members of the press, most notably Sky Sports commentators (and Hussain's future colleagues) [[Ian Botham]] and Bob Willis.<ref>{{Citation | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/2127810.stm|title=Harsh on Hussain | access-date = 26 September 2010 | publisher =BBC Sport| date=14 July 2002}}</ref> His innings included a partnership of 185 with [[Marcus Trescothick]] (who scored 109 himself). After reaching his century Hussain courted controversy by gesturing wildly, pointing to the number 3 on his back and raising three fingers to the media box.<ref>{{Citation | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/2126684.stm|title=Hero Kaif takes India home | access-date = 26 September 2010 | publisher =BBC Sport| date=13 July 2002}}</ref> [[India national cricket team|India]] were set a target of 326 to win and completed the chase with three balls to spare.<ref name="Cricinfo">{{Citation | url = http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/66292.html|title=England v India at Lords 2002 | access-date = 26 September 2010 | publisher =[[Cricinfo]]}}</ref>
==Post-playing career==
Within hours of Hussain announcing his retirement from cricket, it was confirmed that he would join the Sky Sports commentary team on a full-time basis alongside other former England captains Bob Willis, [[David Gower]] and Ian Botham and his former England coach [[David Lloyd (cricketer)|David Lloyd]]. "We now have the most experienced line-up ever seen in a commentary box", said Vic Wakeling of Sky. "Four former England captains with over 400 Tests, 20,000 runs, and 700 wickets between them – and each is a former [[Wisden Cricketers of the Year|Wisden Cricketer of the Year]]."<ref>{{Citation | url = http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/story/141244.html|title=Hussain to join Sky Sports | access-date = 25 May 2012 | publisher =[[ESPN]] | date=27 May 2004}}</ref> In August 2011, in a match between India and England, comments made by Hussain against the Indian side created a stir among some cricket fans: "I would say the difference between the two side is the fielding. England are all-round a good fielding side. I do believe that India have few... 3 or 4 very good fielders and one or two donkeys in the field still."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.ndtv.com/ind-eng-2011/news/177873-nasser-hussain-calls-indian-fielders-donkeys |title=Nasser Hussain calls Indian fielders 'donkeys' |publisher=NDTV Sports |date=2011-09-02|access-date=2013-06-16}}</ref>
In 2004, Hussain released his autobiography, ''Playing with Fire''. It won the Best Autobiography category of the 2005 [[British Sports Book Awards]].<ref name="British Sports Book Awards"/>
Since 2010 he has coached at [[New Hall School]], an independent school in [[Essex]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.newhallschool.co.uk/cricket |title=Senior School – Cricket |publisher=Newhallschool.co.uk |access-date=2013-08-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121028222219/http://www.newhallschool.co.uk/Cricket |archive-date=28 October 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
He played himself in the 2011 [[Bollywood]] film ''[[Patiala House (film)|Patiala House]]'', in which [[Akshay Kumar]] played the leading role.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1535467/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm |title=Patiala House (2011) Full Cast & Crew |publisher=IMDb.com |access-date=2014-09-01}}</ref>
He was criticised by [[Sunil Gavaskar]] because of his comments on the Indian team before [[Sourav Ganguly]] became captain.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cricketphilic.com/gavaskar-lashed-out-at-nasser-hussain-for-his-comment-on-indian-team|title=GAVASKAR LASHED OUT AT NASSER HUSSAIN FOR HIS COMMENT ON INDIAN TEAM|publisher=cricketphilic.com |access-date=2020-08-01}}</ref>
He is one of Sky Cricket's leading commentators alongside Michael Atherton, David Lloyd, Ian Ward and Rob Key.
==Personal life==
Hussain has been married to Karen since 1993. They have two sons, Joel and Jacob, and a daughter, Layla, all three of whom play for Hutton Cricket Club in Hussain’s home county of Essex. The club was featured in a short documentary surrounding the development of women's grassroots cricket.
Both his brothers, Abbas and Mehriyar, have played first-class cricket.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://biographydesk.com/biography-of-nasser-hussain/ | title = Biography of Nasser Hussain | website = Biography Desk | access-date = 10 August 2021}}</ref>

'''Nasser Hussain''' {{post-nominals|OBE}} (born 28 March 1968) is a [[British people|British]] cricket commentator and former cricketer who captained the [[England cricket team]] between 1999 and 2003, with his overall international career extending from 1990 to 2004. A pugnacious right-handed batsman, Hussain scored over 30,000 runs from more than 650 matches across all [[First-class cricket|first-class]] and [[List A cricket|List-A]] cricket, including 62 centuries. His highest Test score of 207, scored in the first Test of the [[Australian cricket team in England in 1997|1997 Ashes]] at [[Edgbaston Cricket Ground|Edgbaston]], was described by ''[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack|Wisden]]'' as "touched by genius".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/statsguru/engine/match/63754.html|title=England v Australia Scorecard|work=ESPN Cricinfo.com|access-date=2009-09-28}}</ref> He played 96 Test matches and 88 [[One Day International]] games in total. In Tests he scored 5,764 runs, and he took 67 catches, fielding predominantly in the second slip and gully.
Born in [[Chennai|Madras]] in [[India]], Hussain was led into cricket by his father, and his family moved to England when Hussain was a young child. He joined Essex in 1987 after developing from a [[Spin bowling|spin bowler]] to batsman while at school and playing for the various Essex youth teams, as the leg-spin of his youth deserted him. He was selected for England initially on the back of 990 runs scored for Essex in the [[County Championship]] of 1989, though injury and poor form would limit his international caps during the early 1990s to three Tests of a 1990 West Indies tour, and four further matches in 1993. Only in 1996 did he become a regular England Test cricketer.
Although regarded as somewhat of a firebrand in his youth,<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/153296.html | title=First Cornhill Test – England v Australia | publisher=ESPN CricInfo | work=Wisden | year=1998 | access-date=2 March 2014 | author=Etheridge, John}}</ref> Hussain succeeded [[Alec Stewart]] as captain in 1999 and led England in forty-five Test matches until resigning in 2003. Overseeing four consecutive Test series victories and England's rise to third in the Test rankings, Hussain is regarded as one of England's most able captains. [[Simon Barnes]] of ''The Times'' wrote that Hussain was "perhaps the finest captain to hold the office."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/cricket/article434705.ece|title=Why we should present ashes to man who slew weasel of defeatism|last=Barnes|first=Simon |date=28 May 2004 |work=[[The Times]] Online|access-date=2009-09-28 | location=London}}</ref> After resigning the captaincy, Hussain played on in Test cricket until the debut Test of future captain [[Andrew Strauss]] – the ability of whom was witnessed by Hussain who scored a century in the same match – and growing calls for him to leave the team, prompted him to yield his position and retire. He joined [[Sky Sports]] as a commentator shortly thereafter. His 2005 autobiography ''Playing With Fire'' won the Best Autobiography category of the 2005 [[British Sports Book Awards]].<ref name="British Sports Book Awards">{{cite web|url=https://sportsbookawards.com/previous-winners/|title=Previous winners|publisher=British Sports Book Awards |access-date=2020-03-29}}</ref>
==Early years==
Hussain was born in [[Chennai|Madras]], India as a [[Muslim]]. His father, [[Jawad Hussain|Raza Jawad 'Joe' Hussain]], was an Indian Tamil Muslim and a keen cricketer and [[field hockey]] player. He was a descendant of [[Muhammad Ali Khan Wallajah]], the [[Nawab]] of [[Arcot State]] in the second half of the 18th century.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Hussain |first1=Abid |title=Hussain makes history |url=https://www.rediff.com/sports/1999/jul/06nasser.htm |website=[[Rediff.com]] |access-date=18 August 2018 |date=6 July 1999}}</ref> Nasser's mother Shireen (originally Patricia Price)<ref name="mother1">{{cite web|url=http://www.cricketcountry.com/articles/nasser-hussain-the-man-who-transformed-english-cricket-with-duncan-fletcher-24564|access-date=6 January 2017|title=Nasser Hussain: The man who transformed English cricket with Duncan Fletcher|date=28 March 2013}}</ref> is English.<ref name="mother2">{{cite web|last1=Scott|first1=Brough|title=To have my son captain England in India.

His father moved the family to England in 1975. Hussain recalled in his 2005 autobiography that the family gave up a prosperous life in India – where the family were comfortable – in order to obtain for the children the benefits of the English educational system.<ref>Hussain (2005) p. 29.</ref> The family moved to [[Ilford]], and Hussain later took charge of the indoor cricket school in Ilford where he used to bowl for hours on end at his elder brothers. He was a talented leg-spin bowler, and with his ability starting to show, at just eight years old, Hussain was selected to play for the Essex Under-11s, and at 12 years old and was the youngest to play for Essex Under-15s.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/2379577/Nasser-Hussain-factfile.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/2379577/Nasser-Hussain-factfile.html |archive-date=12 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=Nasser Hussain factfile|date=25 May 2004|work=[[Www.telegraph.co.uk|Telegraph.co.uk]]|access-date=2009-09-28 | location=London}}{{cbignore}}</ref> He meanwhile continued his education at [[Forest School, Walthamstow]].
At the age of 14 Hussain was selected to play for England Schools where he first came into contact with his friend and future England colleague [[Michael Atherton|Mike Atherton]]. Born five days apart, Hussain and Atherton soon found their careers progressing in parallel as they captained, batted and bowled [[Leg spin|legspin]] for England age-group teams.<ref name="Wisden Almanack">{{cite web| url=http://www.cricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/154922.html | title= Five Cricketers of the year – Scyld Berry | publisher=[[Wisden Almanack]] | date=5 September 2009 | access-date=2009-09-05}}</ref> As well as Atherton, who was considered the "Golden Boy" of the North at the time, Hussain played with and against others such as [[Mark Ramprakash]], [[Graham Thorpe]] and [[Trevor Ward]].<ref>Hussain (2005) p. 37.</ref> At the age of 15, and captain of England Schools, Hussain "grew a foot in height in the winter" and the trajectory of his bowling was altered. He recounts "I went from bowling out [[Graham Gooch]] in the indoor school with everyone watching, to hitting the roof of the net or bowling triple-bouncers to deadly silence."<ref name="Wisden Almanack"/>
Hussain's father initially refused to accept that his son could not bowl to the previous high standards and continued to push him into bowling, while Hussain, full of frustration at his sudden loss of ability felt he was letting his father down.<ref>Hussain (2005) pp. 41–45.</ref> Concerns over his father's expectations of him would continue throughout Hussain's career, as he related in his biography after retiring.<ref>Hussain (2005) pp. 30–35.</ref> After the loss of his bowling, Hussain dropped behind his contemporaries; Atherton, Ramprakash and [[Martin Bicknell]] all began to receive professional county contracts while Hussain was not being selected for representative games and England tours. Hussain switched to batting while he was still captain of Essex under-16s and moved himself up the order to get more runs and to bowl less. His batting progressed, and in that year he became the first under-16 at Forest to score 1,000 runs in a season since 1901.<ref name="Wisden Almanack"/> Hussain himself admitted that batting never came as naturally to him as leg-spin bowling. Throughout his career he batted with little left elbow and plenty of bottom hand, and backed-up with the bat in his right hand.<ref name="Wisden Almanack"/>
While continuing with his cricket, he also studied [[Natural science|Natural Sciences]] at the [[Durham University|University of Durham]] – a strong cricketing university – where he belonged to the [[College of St Hild and St Bede, Durham|College of St Hild and St Bede]]. He graduated in 1989 with a [[Bachelor of Science]] (BSc) degree.<ref>{{cite web|title=Durham University sporting excellence on show at The Ashes|url=https://www.dur.ac.uk/news/newsitem/?itemno=18405|work=News|publisher=Durham University|access-date=12 August 2013|date=2 August 2013}}</ref>
==Test cricket==
Hussain made his Test cricket debut in 1990 against the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]] with the match ending just before lunch on the final day. England won the test by nine wickets, but lost the series 2–1<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/current/story/152032.html|title=WEST INDIES v ENGLAND 1989-90|work=ESPN Cricinfo.com|access-date=2009-09-28}}</ref>
Hussain was subsequently not picked for the next three years. He was regarded as a bit of a "hot-head", and his fiery temper briefly jeopardised his prospects of an international career.<ref name="The BBC">{{Citation | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/3750083.stm|title=Nasser Hussain England's man of Steel | access-date = 25 September 2010 | publisher =BBC | date=27 May 2004}}</ref> At Essex Hussain continued to score runs and impress his county colleague and England captain Graham Gooch enough to have a Test reprieve. So at the 3rd Ashes Test of 1993, Hussain joined an England team. Hussain scored 71 and 47 not out, which was enough to see him selected for the rest of the series. It was however not enough to secure his place for the subsequent winter tour, nor for that matter the next three years of Test matches.
Hussain was picked again for a Test series against India in the summer of 1996. The number 3 batting position had been troublesome for England for some time. England had tried all manner of combinations at No. 3, from the left-field [[Jason Gallian]] to the veteran [[Robin Smith (cricketer)|Robin Smith]], via the temperamentally suspect pairing of [[Graeme Hick]] and Mark Ramprakash. "A lot is made of your batting position," Hussain recalled to Cricinfo, "but I always felt, and I did back then when [[David Lloyd (cricketer)|David Lloyd]] rang me up and asked me to bat No. 3, that if you're good enough to be playing Test cricket, you should be good enough to move from No. 5 to No. 3".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/engvwi2009/content/story/403292.html|title=Shades of Hussain as Bopara arrives|last=Miller|first=Andrew|date=6 May 2009|work=ESPN Cricinfo.com|access-date=2009-09-28}}</ref>
Hussain scored 128 in the first innings. Hussain was awarded Man of The Match and with another century in the last Test that summer was awarded Man of the Series.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/current/story/153535.html|title=ENGLAND v INDIA|first=Field|last=David|work=ESPN Cricinfo.com|access-date=2009-09-28}}</ref>
===Test captain===
Hussain was the [[captain (cricket)|captain]] of the England team for 45 [[Test cricket|Test match]]es from 1999 to 2003; as of 2021 the sixth most for an England captain, with his 17 Test victories the seventh most as England captain. His percentage of Tests won was higher than any of the previous eight captains since [[Bob Willis]] retired in 1984.
Hussain became Test captain in July 1999, taking over from Alec Stewart for the series against [[New Zealand national cricket team|New Zealand]] at home, after which he was booed by the England fans as he and his team stood on the pavilion balcony. In 2000 he led England to a 3–1 victory over the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]] at home, and in that winter, the England team beat both [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] and [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]] away. Under Hussain, England won four Test series in a row and rose to third place in the ICC Test Championship table when it was launched, after being ninth and last in the prototype Wisden World Championship in September 1999.
Hussain was captain of both the Test and [[One Day International]] England teams until after the [[2003 Cricket World Cup]], when England failed to make the second round after boycotting their match against [[Zimbabwe national cricket team|Zimbabwe]] in [[Harare]], citing security concerns. But as he stated in his autobiography ''Playing With Fire'', the whole Zimbabwe question and the responsibility of whether or not to play against Zimbabwe was left to the captain and it was a question that "kept him awake at night".<ref>Hussain (2005) pp. 2–10.</ref>
Immediately after the 2003 Cricket World Cup, he stepped down as one-day captain, being replaced by [[Michael Vaughan]]. Later in 2003, Hussain announced his retirement as Test captain after England's Test series against [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]], again being replaced by Vaughan.
Hussain continued as a batsman in the Test team until May 2004; in his final Test, against New Zealand at [[Lord's]], he scored 34 and 103 not out, hitting the winning runs.
[[Sachin Tendulkar]] wrote in his autobiography ''Playing It My Way: My Autobiography'' that
<blockquote>Among the Captains I have played against, I consider Nasser Hussein the best. He was an excellent strategist ... He was a very good thinker about the game and was proactive. Nasser would not place a fielder in a particular position after a shot was played. Rather, he had the ability to anticipate the shot and would place a fielder well in advance, making a real difference to his team.<ref>Sachin Tendulkar, ''Playing It My Way: My Autobiography'', with Boria Majmuder, 2014, Hodder & Stoughton</ref></blockquote>
Hussain has the record of the most consecutive Test [[Toss (cricket)|tosses]] lost as captain, losing 10 in a row between November 2000 and December 2001.<ref>[https://twitter.com/AWSStats/status/1217764153940742144 Andrew Samson, Cricket Statistician, Twitter]</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/current/team/1.html|title=ESPNcricinfo.com Statsguru - England - Test matches - Team analysis|website=Cricinfo}}</ref>
==One Day Internationals==
In NatWest trophy, Hussain's highest score of 115 occurred against India in the summer of 2002, during a game that was described by [[BBC]] correspondent [[Jonathan Agnew]] as "the most exciting one-day international I have ever seen."<ref>{{Citation | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/2126843.stm|title=Young Stars Shine at Lords | access-date = 26 September 2010 | publisher =BBC Sport | date=13 July 2002}}</ref> For some time before the game, Hussain's insistence on batting at number three and even his inclusion in the team had been repeatedly questioned by several members of the press, most notably Sky Sports commentators (and Hussain's future colleagues) [[Ian Botham]] and Bob Willis.<ref>{{Citation | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/2127810.stm|title=Harsh on Hussain | access-date = 26 September 2010 | publisher =BBC Sport| date=14 July 2002}}</ref> His innings included a partnership of 185 with [[Marcus Trescothick]] (who scored 109 himself). After reaching his century Hussain courted controversy by gesturing wildly, pointing to the number 3 on his back and raising three fingers to the media box.<ref>{{Citation | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/2126684.stm|title=Hero Kaif takes India home | access-date = 26 September 2010 | publisher =BBC Sport| date=13 July 2002}}</ref> [[India national cricket team|India]] were set a target of 326 to win and completed the chase with three balls to spare.<ref name="Cricinfo">{{Citation | url = http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/66292.html|title=England v India at Lords 2002 | access-date = 26 September 2010 | publisher =[[Cricinfo]]}}</ref>
==Post-playing career==
Within hours of Hussain announcing his retirement from cricket, it was confirmed that he would join the Sky Sports commentary team on a full-time basis alongside other former England captains Bob Willis, [[David Gower]] and Ian Botham and his former England coach [[David Lloyd (cricketer)|David Lloyd]]. "We now have the most experienced line-up ever seen in a commentary box", said Vic Wakeling of Sky. "Four former England captains with over 400 Tests, 20,000 runs, and 700 wickets between them – and each is a former [[Wisden Cricketers of the Year|Wisden Cricketer of the Year]]."<ref>{{Citation | url = http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/story/141244.html|title=Hussain to join Sky Sports | access-date = 25 May 2012 | publisher =[[ESPN]] | date=27 May 2004}}</ref> In August 2011, in a match between India and England, comments made by Hussain against the Indian side created a stir among some cricket fans: "I would say the difference between the two side is the fielding. England are all-round a good fielding side. I do believe that India have few... 3 or 4 very good fielders and one or two donkeys in the field still."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.ndtv.com/ind-eng-2011/news/177873-nasser-hussain-calls-indian-fielders-donkeys |title=Nasser Hussain calls Indian fielders 'donkeys' |publisher=NDTV Sports |date=2011-09-02|access-date=2013-06-16}}</ref>
In 2004, Hussain released his autobiography, ''Playing with Fire''. It won the Best Autobiography category of the 2005 [[British Sports Book Awards]].<ref name="British Sports Book Awards"/>
Since 2010 he has coached at [[New Hall School]], an independent school in [[Essex]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.newhallschool.co.uk/cricket |title=Senior School – Cricket |publisher=Newhallschool.co.uk |access-date=2013-08-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121028222219/http://www.newhallschool.co.uk/Cricket |archive-date=28 October 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
He played himself in the 2011 [[Bollywood]] film ''[[Patiala House (film)|Patiala House]]'', in which [[Akshay Kumar]] played the leading role.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1535467/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm |title=Patiala House (2011) Full Cast & Crew |publisher=IMDb.com |access-date=2014-09-01}}</ref>
He was criticised by [[Sunil Gavaskar]] because of his comments on the Indian team before [[Sourav Ganguly]] became captain.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cricketphilic.com/gavaskar-lashed-out-at-nasser-hussain-for-his-comment-on-indian-team|title=GAVASKAR LASHED OUT AT NASSER HUSSAIN FOR HIS COMMENT ON INDIAN TEAM|publisher=cricketphilic.com |access-date=2020-08-01}}</ref>
He is one of Sky Cricket's leading commentators alongside Michael Atherton, David Lloyd, Ian Ward and Rob Key.
==Personal life==
Hussain has been married to Karen since 1993. They have two sons, Joel and Jacob, and a daughter, Layla, all three of whom play for Hutton Cricket Club in Hussain’s home county of Essex. The club was featured in a short documentary surrounding the development of women's grassroots cricket.
Both his brothers, Abbas and Mehriyar, have played first-class cricket.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://biographydesk.com/biography-of-nasser-hussain/ | title = Biography of Nasser Hussain | website = Biography Desk | access-date = 10 August 2021}}</ref>
