London, Aug 06: Nasser Hussain, who resigned as
England captain after the first cricket test against South
Africa, has told the England selectors he will be available
for selection for next week's Third Test.
Hussain's availability was welcomed by the chairman of
selectors, David Graveney, as there had been speculation the
Essex batsman would follow pace bowler Darren Gough's example
and announce his retirement.
"It's good news for everyone," Graveney told a
website today.
Hussain, 35, surprised most observers by resigning his
post after last Monday's drawn first test against South Africa
at Edgbaston.
South Africa crushed England by an innings and 92 runs in the second Test at Lord's on Sunday.
The result left England 0-1 down in the five test series with three to play.
The third test starts at Trent Bridge on August 14. Bureau Report
