TROTT IN SRI LANKA SQUAD

England middle order batsman Jonathan Trott has been retained in the England Test squad that will embark on a tour of Sri Lanka in spite of not having the best of series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates where the world number one Test team were spanked for a 3-0 whitewash by the underdogs and young Pakistan side. Although the team did not undergo wholesale changes, the biggest casualty remained Eoin Morgan who failed miserably during the tour of the United Arab Emirates, both in Tests and One Day Internationals.

Trott, however, managed to regain some lost pride with his performances for the England One Day International side, helping his team to a 4-0 victory in the One Day series. Trott has been one of the major layers for the England team over the last 4 or 5 years, having almost singlehandedly steadied the middle order of an English team that was still reeling under the departure of star names such as Michael Vaughn and Mark Butcher.

Jonathan Trott even climbed up to the top 10 of the ICC ratings for Test cricketers and it is this good showing that has compelled the England selectors to give him another chance at proving himself in the spinning wicket of the subcontinent when the team takes on Sri Lanka, fresh from a decent run in the Commonwealth Bank Tri Series against Australia.

He was named in the One Day International side for England as well and was one of the star players for the team in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 and having proved that he could bat on the sub continental wicket, this would be a hard pill to swallow for Jonathan Trott at being singled out by the selectors, who did no wrong as most of his teammates failed in the UAE.

TROTT OK AFTER TAXI CRASH

English cricketing trio of Kevin Pietersen, Stuart Broad and Jonathan Trott escaped unhurt after their taxi had an accident when they went out for a little sightseeing trip during their trip to the United Arab Emirates to play Pakistan in the One day International series. Trott and the others hired the cab from outside the hotel that the England Cricket Team is staying in to go out for some sightseeing after their hectic tour schedule allowed them some time for rest and the players, looking for a fresh start after the 3-0 demolition at the hands of Pakistan went out for some recreation.

Jonathan Trott and the other two wanted to do some sightseeing and they all hailed the cab to take them to the outskirts of the city for a tour and while they were on the highway, the bonnet of the cab flew off from its hinges and hit the front windscreen. Kevin Pietersen reported about this incident on Twitter, the popular social networking website and went on to describe what had happened, ending his story with the hash tag ‘scary’.

The England Cricket Team, after its demolition in the Test series in spite of being the number one ranked Test playing nation according to the ICC rankings, is looking for a fresh start in One Day International series but the way things have gone so far, one might think that their bad luck is still continuing.

Although the windscreen of the taxi was smashed during the incident, none of the players were hurt and returned to the team hotel by hailing another cab and the trio went for practice under lights that evening as well. Jonathan Trott looked steady as he hit the balls for sixes but the others didn’t get too much time on the net.
