Trescothick ends England career
Posted on March 23rd, 2008 by admin
Marcus Trescothick has announced his retirement from international cricket.
The Somerset batsman, 32, suffers from a stress-related illness which makes travelling abroad difficult.
The former England opener, averaged 43.79 and played in 76 Tests and 123 one-day games, said he was retiring so England could plan their future.
He said: “It is in the best interests of all concerned that the issue is put to rest so the England team can concentrate on moving forward.”
Trescothick last played for England against Pakistan at The Oval in August 2006 but has not featured in an overseas tour since returning before the start of the Ashes in Australia at the end of 2006.
