Joe Hussain, father of ex-England skipper Nasser, dies
Malaysia Sun
Monday 28th April, 2008  
(IANS)

Jawad Hussain, a former Ranji Trophy cricketer who gave England its first Indian-born cricket captain, has died.

Jawad - better known as Joe - Hussain, whose Chennai-born son Nasser captained England from 1999 to 2003, passed away Saturday after a long illness.

A passionate cricketer, Joe Hussain was a popular coach of several county players in the town of Ilford.

He is credited with developing the talents of not only Nasser - one of England's most successful recent captains - but also England players Ravi Bopara, James Foster and Varun Chopra.

Joe Hussain played only one first-class match, for the erstwhile Madras side against Andhra Pradesh in the 1964-65 Ranji Trophy - a game that Madras won.

Hussain was born in Chennai, but described himself as 70 percent Chennai and 30 percent Bangalorean because his mother came from Karnataka.

After finishing a science degree from Loyola College in Chennai, he migrated to England in 1963 where he met and married his English wife Patricia.

He returned to Chennai two years later where Nasser was born in 1968.

'We were a cricket mad family,' Joe Hussain said some years ago. 'I used to play for the Madras Cricket Club. I used to play all my cricket there.'

The family returned to England in 1975, where Hussain ran his successful indoor cricket school.

The German National Squad will definitely be in England from Wed., 30 April to Mon., 5 May. We will be staying in Harlow at the Harlow International Hostel.  Two games have been arranged for them and they are hoping to play a young Essex XI. They are also hoping that they can get a 4th game arranged.

We  begin our 50-over games here in Germany at 11 a.m. If it would suit you, we could begin at the same time against your teams. What are the chances of playing with white balls?

Westcliff-on-Sea Cricket Club

Mr John Morris, a disgruntled former officer of Westcliff-on-Sea Cricket Club, has made an unsubstantiated allegation that a player from overseas was illegally included in that Club’s First Xl throughout the 2007 season. During that period, and in his capacity as 3rd Xl Captain, Mr Morris was himself a member of the Club Selection Committee that he now accuses of committing this breach in League rules. His allegation and subsequent resignation from Westcliff CC only came to light following the Club’s AGM, at which he was not re-elected. 

As a founder member of The Essex League, and a well organised and respected club, Westcliff-on-Sea CC has given an assurance and provided written confirmation to the League Executive Committee that the player in question was qualified to play in accordance with the existing rules. The Executive Committee has accepted this confirmation.
