Jonathan Trott says he is ready to return to international fold with England

Jonathan Trott is keen to make a return to full international cricket after overcoming the stress-related issues that forced him to take a break from the game.

Trott’s last senior international appearance came in the first Ashes Test in Brisbane in 2013 before he was forced to leave the tour and return home.

He made a comeback for Warwickshire at the beginning of last season but suffered a recurrence of the problem sidelining him for a further six weeks.

But after making a full return for his county in June, the South Africa-born batsman flourished, scoring 1,156 runs across all three formats last season.

The 33-year-old captained England Lions in two unofficial Tests against South Africa A last month, scoring an unbeaten double hundred in the first match and a half-century in the second.

"Yes, Test and one-dayers. I'd love to play again," Trott told the Guardian.

"I wouldn't have gone on the Lions tour if I didn't want to play for England again. Whatever happens from here, if it happens, would be fantastic."

With Gary Ballance looking solid at three in England’s Test batting order, Trott could force his way into contention as an opener in place of Sam Robson who is yet to convince.

"I just want to play again," Trott added. "If I was asked to open then I'd open. I'd never really batted at number three before but they asked me to and I did quite well there.

"The difference between three and opening is not that much, you can go in second ball."

Trott insists he has made no technical adjustments to his batting style but says the secret to his resurgence is that he is now enjoying playing the game.

"No, nothing, I haven't changed a thing," he said. "Don't need to. Old dog, new tricks don't really work. The only change is to enjoy my cricket and go wherever that takes me."
