Nasser Hussain became the second professional cricketer to play with Petersham-Marrickville DCC when he joined the club for the 1992-93 season. The success of having David Capel as player/coach the previous season whetted the club’s appetite for a return. Unfortunately, Capel was unavailable. As had been the case in gaining Capel, Wayne Mulherin again contacted his UK friend, Northampton County player Nigel Felton who recommended Nasser Hussain, an Essex professional who had played three Tests for England on a tour of the West Indies in 1990. Nasser accepted the opportunity and joined Petersham-Marrickville as player/coach for the season. Seven years later he would captain England.
