Jonathan Trott: England batsman retires from international cricket

England batsman Jonathan Trott has retired from international cricket.

The 34-year-old returned to the Test side for the tour of the West Indies, 18 months after leaving the Ashes tour with a stress-related illness, but managed only 72 runs in six innings.
"This was a tough decision but I don't feel my game is at the level needed to play for England," said Trott.

"I was honoured to come back and play international cricket again and I'm disappointed it didn't work out."

The Warwickshire right-hander scored 3,835 runs in 52 Tests, including a century on his debut in the 2009 Ashes decider.
