Trescothick puts health above England hopes

Sunday 30 December 2007


Marcus Trescothick has insisted that he will not risk his personal well-being in the hope of earning an England recall. The Somerset batsman hasn't played for his country since 2006 but starred in a full season for his county in 2007.

"
"I still have aspirations to do it (be recalled), the older I get it will be harder to do it.

"But What I won't do is sacrifice my health to make it happen again.

"My life is more important than cricket".

The 32 year old left hander has twice been sent home from overseas tours with a stress related illness, but still hopes to be named in the squad for the tour of New Zealand.
