Trott Recalled for West Indies Test Tour

London: Jonathan Trott has been recalled to the full England squad for the first time since leaving the 2013-14 Ashes tour because of a stress-related condition.

The Warwickshire batsman, 33, was named in a 16-man party for the three-Test tour of West Indies in April and May.

All-rounders Chris Woakes and Moeen Ali are both ruled out due to injuries suffered during the World Cup.

Yorkshire opener Adam Lyth, Durham seamer Mark Wood and Yorkshire leg-spinner Adil Rashid are all included.

The trio are the only players yet to be capped at Test level in a squad captained by Alastair Cook.

Middlesex opener Sam Robson has been left out despite playing in England's last seven Tests, with fast bowler Steven Finn also omitted following a disappointing World Cup.

Trott scored 3,763 runs in 49 England Tests before leaving Australia after the first Test in Brisbane in November 2013 due to a long-standing anxiety condition.

Having started the 2014 season with Warwickshire, his county campaign was interrupted when he took another break from the game in April.

But, following sessions with psychiatrist Dr Steve Peters, he returned to the Bears side in May, ending the summer with 628 first-class runs.

He made a triumphant return to international colours in January, scoring a double hundred as captain of England Lions in South Africa.
