Hussain gives up England captaincy July 28, 2003 23:28 IST Nasser Hussain resigned the England captaincy after the first Test against South Africa at Edgbaston ended in a draw. The decision was announced by England chairman of selectors David Graveney at a post-match news conference on Monday. He will be replaced by Michael Vaughan, who led England to victory in the triangular one-day series against Zimbabwe and South Africa. Hussain, 35, stepped down as national one-day captain after the unsuccessful World Cup campaign in South Africa this year before leading England to a 2-0 series victory over Zimbabwe.
