Generally recognised as a raw and maverick talent in his youth with an extreme dislike of the cricketing establishment, Hussain brought a steel and professional resolve to England during his tenure as National Skipper. With Duncan Fletcher he transformed England from a team of under achievers into one of the top test playing nations often leading by example playing typically gritty and dogged innings. While not generally recognised as a natural leader he selflessly sacrificed himself, sometimes obsessively, on a personal level as captain taking the rap and flack for any defeat or poor result. It was immediately after the 2003 Cricket World Cup after considerable and unwarranted criticism that he stepped down as One Day Skipper passing on the reigns to Michael Vaughan realising that he, rather harshly on himself, was a spent force in the One Day arena.

In 2003, Hussain announced his retirement as Test captain after England had narrowly clung on for a draw in the first Test against South Africa, being replaced as captain by Michael Vaughan. Hussain continued as a batsman in the Test team until May 2004, when, after scoring a century and the winning runs in the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's, Hussain announced his immediate retirement from international and first-class cricket on May 27, 2004.
