News about Nasser Hussain

CRAIG HOPE: The journey that brought Mark Clattenburg on board with the Daily Mail began in the foyer of a social club in Seaham in 2017. He was - not for the first time and, as this week shows, not for the last - at the centre of a media storm. The best referee in the world, he was quitting the Premier League for Saudi Arabia halfway through the season. It was back-page news. Clattenburg, however, had a commitment to give a talk to raise money for a junior football club close to his County Durham home. I bought a ticket and sat at the back of the room. Moments before the scheduled start, he was made aware of my presence and left the stage. He wanted a chat in the foyer. Was I about to get a red card?

Bella Ramsay arrived in London on Tuesday in a dark suit. The actress, 20, who is up for Support Actress for her role in the gritty prison drama Time and arrived at the awards ceremony looking well-dressed and booted. Bella went for a dark suit with a black shirt underneath and a matching tie.

On Monday night, we received the Sports Journalist Association's coveted trophy for Sports Newspaper of the Year and were honoured in several other categories, including Mail Sport at the Sports Journalist Association Awards, the industry's Oscars. Mail Sport fought off fierce rivalry to win the night's biggest gong. Nik Simon, a rugby writer, received the Rugby Journalist of the Year award, and Charlotte Daly was named in the Social Media Journalist of the Year category. Simon was praised for his 'game-changing' articles exposing racial profiling in the sport. Mail Sport's most admired and much-loved tennis writer Mike Dickson, who died in January, was also honoured by naming the special correspondent award in his honour.

Following England's loss in a 4-1 Test series, the team is licking their wounds. Bazball's heroes suffered to a humiliating defeat within three days to put an end to their tour of India on a sour note, losing the fifth Test by an innings and 64 runs. It was a significant setback for Ben and Brendan McCullum's regime, and there are several questions to answer. Nasser Hussain is on hand to answer your questions.

PAUL's NEWMAN IN RAJKOT: Ben Stokes sprinted back 25 yards from mid-off and spun to make a spectacular catch that then disagrede Shreyas Iyer. He clenched his right fist, rather than the index finger that still suffers the scars from a bad break 13 years ago, and is regarded with gleefully by England supporters in the Vizag stands. It was almost as good as the World Cup grab in 2019 against South Africa at the Oval that led Nasser Hussain to exclaim on TV, 'You cannot do that Ben Stokes!' This was his second sublime piece of fielding in the series after Ravindra Jadeja's first-Test run. It was also the time when the England captain recovered - although not sufficiently so far back - from the operation on the recurring left knee injury that has thrown such a cloud over him for the past 18 months or so.

Jamie Carragher and Nasser Hussain were involved in a bizarre prank that culminated in the pair being pelted with balls to celebrate Sky Sports' new tennis channel's unveiling. As balls were shot at Karen Carney, Natalie Pinkham, Izzy Christiensen, Naomi Schiff, and Tamsin Greenway, they were also on the receiving end.

England won by a 190-run deficit in Hyderabad on Sunday to defeat India in a historic Test victory. Ben Stokes' side recovered after a difficult first two days with a spectacular 196 from Ollie Pope. In the first Test, debutant spinner Tom Hartley spun his team to a 28-run victory.

If Ben Stokes can stay fit and continue to inspire his troops, it is likely that he will surpass some of England's most respected Test captains over the course of this year. Stokes has already won 13 times in 19 Tests in charge, beating Michael Atherton's record of 54 appearances. Nasser Hussain's record of 17 wins in 45 is impressive, but there is sixth-placed Mike Brearley on 18 in 31, the man ahead of him in the poll whose winning percentage is nearest to his record of 68.42. With 14 matches scheduled this year, six of them against West Indies and Sri Lanka at home and six in New Zealand at its back end, there will be plenty of opportunities to get nearer to his close friend and colleague Joe Root, who is top on 27.

Exclusive: Sky Sports will make broadcasting history this week by broadcasting a Hindi commentary for the Cricket World Cup semi-finals and final on their main channels this week. India's last-four clash against New Zealand on Saturday will be shown in what is believed to be the first time a major UK broadcaster has reported a sporting event in another language. Former England captain Eoin Morgan and Ian Ward, former England captain Eoin Morgan and David Ward, will provide English coverage from Sky Sports Main Event in Mumbai, with Hindi commentary available on the broadcaster's sister channel.

Former England skipper Nasser Hussain has been lashed by Aussie cricket fans after suggesting his nation bombed out of the World Cup because of Ashes fatigue

It has been one of the worst World Cup defenses ever mounted by any major sporting team. So what has gone so badly wrong for England in India? Former England captain Nasser Hussain, former England captain David Lloyd, cricket reporter Paul Newman, and Wisden editor Lawrence Booth are among Mail Sport's experts who have tried to find the answers and suggest that Jos Buttler's side might be able to build again for 2027.

Diplomacy has been thrown out the window at the ICC Cricket World Cup with Aussie skipper Pat Cummins bursting into laughter when asked about how badly England are performing at the tournament

It's time for England to defend the World Cup after losing so convincingly at Lord's four years ago. Can they go even better by retaining it in India? We consulted with our experts, former England captain Nasser Hussain, former England coach David 'Bumble' Lloyd, Cricket Correspondent Paul Newman, and Wisden Editor Lawrence Booth. England hasn't had any preparations for their 2019 World Cup victory. What shape are they in?

Following heavy rain on days four and five, Australia has retained the Ashes after the fourth Test at Old Trafford was delayed. After being second best in Manchester, the visitors will now have gotten away with one, but the tourists will go back to the urn no matter what happens at the Oval. There's still a lot to play for, though Australia hasn't won the Ashes outright in England since 2001, and they could do so if they avoid losing. ASHES EXPERTS of Mail Sport took the key talking points ahead of the final Ashes Test, which starts on Thursday.

Hussain, a household name in the England ranks, launches another series against Australia on Wednesday. Not Nasser, but his older brother Mel, who will participate in the Grey Ashes. Hussain is a regular on the senior circuit and is in the England squad for the first of five one-day internationals that will determine the Over 60s Ashes. It's the most recent achievement of a Hussain sibling steeped in amateur and seniors cricket who was seen as a greater threat than Nasser in his youth but has moved away from the county game to pursue a long career in the city.

In Headingley, England kept the Ashes alive in a dramatic manner, establishing possibly one of the best sequences of all. But what happens next?Mail Sport's experts - former England captain Nasser Hussain, former England coach David 'Bumble' Lloyd, Cricket Correspondent Paul Newman and Wisden Editor Lawrence Booth - have their say…

After the Bairstow stumping fiasco at Lord's, he accused Australia of failing to play in the spirit of cricket, Ben Stokes has been chastised for doing exactly that himself at Headingley. Despite obviously touching the cord, the England skipper claimed to have saved a boundary, but the umpires had no responsibility.

As the Ashes prepares for the third Test of what has been a thrilling series so far, Mail Sport's Nasser Hussain speaks with former Australia captain Ricky Ponting to address Bazball, Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal at Lord's and why he left the England career.

PAUL NEWMAN: When Ben Stokes begins talking to Chinese farmers, you know that the Ashes series has taken an unexpected twist. This was not a second Test call-up at Lord's much more surprising than Josh Tongue's replacement of Moeen Ali, but rather a way for the England captain to insist that his best-laid pace bowling efforts had not gone wrong. First Jofra Archer and Olly Stone were banned from attending, but Mark Wood isn't fit enough to give England the all-important extra speed Stokes insisted on when he told Nasser Hussain that he wanted 'flat and fast wickets.'

IAN HERBERT – DEPUTY SPORTS WRITER – WRITER OVER: It's Groundhog Day at Manchester United. New transfer window, same old confusion. No matter the brand or no matter, no substance is involved. After their traditional midsummer game of whack-a-mole in the city, a club still clings in the hopes that their hallowed name will bring them some players in. United are, of course, marooned with football's greatest speculators, the Glazers. On their first trip to Old Trafford, a family that purchased a couple of 'I Love Man United' T-shirts and an £18 plastic souvenir rucksack sped away in a Volkswagen people carrier and hasn't looked back. A family's primary concern is simply how to squeeze more money from the club, not how to keep up with a tumultuous, elite sports environment.

After the bowling surface had undergone intensive preparations to help get more out of the playing surface, England's pace bowlers could expect to profit from a quicker wicket at Lord's. Following their opening series loss, England must win by a point over their Down Under opponents in the second Test. The hosts' Bazball play has ignited renewed interest in Test cricket in the United States, but it will be little if England loses another game.

Exclusive INTERVIEW: Kevin Pietersen was the best player ever built for Bazball, if anyone. On his debut Test series in 2005, Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum laid a blueprint for how England bats today. However, figures tell part of the story when it comes to the maverick South African-born batsman, who was ahead of his time in both the game design and the way he championed the IPL when it was first introduced. Nasser Hussain of Mail Sport spoke to Pietersen ahead of the second Ashes test, which will begin at Lord's on June 28.

In the Ashes, an epic first Test ended with Australia just about getting over the line to take the lead by 1-0. The tourists won with the bat by Pat Cummings and Nathan Lyon, putting together a superb team of 55 to help the Aussies beat the 281 runs set by Ben Stokes' side. When the England captain took Usman Khawaja's wicket before Alex Carey was trapped and bowled by Joe Root, it seemed as though they had fallen short of their target.

Following a spectacular piece of fielding that English cricket fans believe was 'cheating,' the first Test of the Ashes remains on a knife's edge at stumps on day three. As Australia struck with two wickets in the first Test at Edgbaston, the home supporters expressed their displeasure with a chant.
