Vaughan believes 'worthy' Trott ready for England Test team recall for Windies tour

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan believes that ex-national team batsman Jonathan Trott is ready for a call back to the Test squad for their West Indies tour next month, having proved his worth with stints in domestic cricket.

England suffered a humiliating exit from the World Cup in the group stages and now they would get their preparations underway for an year full of Test cricket.

And Vaughan believes that it is the right move to bring the batsman back into the fold more than a year following his 'stress-related' meltdown in Australia last winter.

Trott has steadily recovered from his Australian trauma, at first with domestic side Warwickshire and then with the England Lions, whom he captained in a two match Test series against South Africa A in January, the Mirror reported.

Trott's 211-not-out in the first of those matches was the standout innings of the tour and should be enough for him to receive his first call-up since leaving the Ashes, to provide crucial experience for Alastair Cook's side ahead of a huge year of Test cricket.

And Vaughan reckons that the time is right to see whether Trott can rekindle an international career that took him to the top of the world as the ICC cricketer of the year in 2011.

Vaughan said that he believes if one looks at the Lions trip, Trott was the best player, adding that the batsman has done his time, claiming that he has proved his worth. He insisted that one can understand why they would want to go to him.

Vaughan said that in Test cricket, they miss Trott's style of play, adding that when the batsman is in form and of good mind then he is one of the main reasons England got to number one in the world, because he was the rock at three.

The former skipper claimed that Trott was a calming influence, but his record suggests that when he does face really quick bowling like South Africa away and Australia away there has been an issue. He insisted that the thing they would all be waiting to see is when Trott faces the quicker bowlers from New Zealand in May and if the technique is still the same then that would be a challenge.
