Hamad Hussain

Hamad Hussain is the Dubai-based Founder and Senior Editor of The Sports Encounter, where he leads editorial direction, coverage standards, and the publication’s reader-first approach to sports journalism. His primary focus is cricket, with additional work across sports opinion, athlete performance, team selection, match analysis, tournament developments, and major international sporting stories.

Hamad brings more than 22 years of leadership experience across corporate governance, operations, finance, HR, administration, and business development. That background shapes a structured, decision-focused approach to sports analysis, particularly when examining team strategy, selection calls, leadership, performance trends, and the wider consequences of results.

Before taking on his current editorial leadership role, Hamad worked with The Sports Encounter as a Sports Analyst from 2010 to 2015. Today, his writing combines fan perspective with statistical context, historical comparison, and practical analysis of the decisions that shape teams, players, and competitions.
