On his return to England, Hussain said he had no regrets about his decision to quit as one-day captain after England's elimination from the first stage of the World Cup.

"I had to play in both forms of cricket and captain both forms," he said.

"I had five months away from home and you just can't do everything. A lot of that went into my decision.

"I don't like giving away any side, but one-day cricket and me haven't got on very well recently

"The reason I did it was to carry on as captain in the Test match arena. I made my decision throughout the winter."

But the Essex batsman said he hoped the selectors would retain him as Test captain.

"I would like to carry on for a long while yet. I've got some unfinished business," he added.

"My form has been very good. I want to get the Test side back to where it was in the past and my captaincy record speaks for itself.

"I would like to play 100 Tests, it's been an ambition of mine. Whether this is as captain or not is up to the selectors."
