England鈥檚 Trott calls end to international career

ENGLAND batsman Jonathan Trott has retired from international cricket with immediate effect after a disappointing tour of the West Indies, the 34-year-old said on Monday.

Trott only returned to the England side last month following an extended break from the game due to a stress-related illness but scored a meager 72 runs, including three ducks, at an average of just 12 in the three-test series against West Indies. “This was a tough decision but I don’t feel my game is at the level needed to play for England,” Trott said in an England and Wales Cricket Board statement. The South African-born right-hander played 52 tests, scoring 3,835 runs at an average of 44.08 after scoring a century on his debut in the 2009 Ashes series. He also played 68 one-day internationals, scoring 2,819 runs at an average of 51.25.
