Nasser Hussain resigned the England cricket captaincy today 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.
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.
