Hussain will be joining the commentary team from the third Test.
Former England captain and broadcaster Nasser Hussain has on Saturday (August 7) suggested rescheduling the start time of the Test matches in England as the weather woes continue to impact the ongoing first Test against India at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.
The ongoing opening Test of five-match Test series between England and India has already lost out on two complete sessions to rain over the last two days and rain is likely to hit Day 4 play again with the blanket of clouds huddle over the field in Nottingham.
Seeing the continuous rain interruptions during the ongoing first Test at Trent Bridge, Hussain has suggested the option of starting Test matches in England half an hour earlier than usual start at 11:00 AM (local time) whenever there is a forecast for rain.
Taking to Twitter on Saturday, Hussain said: “We can make up time in England for weather late in the day when it’s usually getting darker but we can’t make up time in the morning when it’s usually getting brighter... With rain forecast, we should be starting at 10.30 am.”
Notably, the teams have already lost 105 overs across the two days and only 16 of them can be recouped by rescheduling the sessions on the final two days in Nottingham.
The rain is set to disrupt the second and the third session on Day 4 due to a couple of showers and thunderstorms.
