__ Hussain, former England cricket captain (6)

I believe the answer is:

nasser

(Other definitions for nasser that I've seen before include "-- Hussain, ex-cricketer" , "One-time head of Egypt" , "Egyptian president, d. 1970" , "UAR president" , "Former Egypt leader" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
