England are weighing up whether to give an international recall to Marcus Trescothick.
The 31-year-old opening batsman has not played for England in nearly a year and left the Ashes tour of Australia before the first Test with a recurrence of a stress related illness he first suffered in India early last year.
Both Trescothick and England have been coy about an international return for the left-hander.
But to have a chance of playing in September's inaugural World Twenty20 in South Africa he must be named in the provisional 30-man squad tomorrow.
International Cricket Council playing conditions allow nations to select a large initial squad which must be cut to 15 by Aug. 11.
Trescothick is one of England's best limited overs batsmen and following the 2-1 one-day series defeat against the West Indies, at Trent Bridge on Saturday, England coach Peter Moores indicated he was still in the selectors' thoughts.
"Marcus is a very good one-day player and when we announce that 30, if he's in it, you will know the time is right for him to come back in," he said.
It was not only Trescothick whom England missed as West Indies, who had been 1-0 down, secured their first trophy abroad since defeating their hosts in the 2004 Champions Trophy final at The Oval.
England, missing injured all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, only took five wickets at Trent Bridge, just as they'd done during Wednesday's 61-run defeat at Edgbaston.
However, Moores insisted he did not want to use injuries or the notion of a team in transition as excuses for defeat for an England side that, like the West Indies, failed to reach the World Cup semi-finals.
"The key for me is we want to win," Moores said. "I don't want to hide behind the fact we are going to rebuild and going to have to wait."
"We want to win games of one-day cricket straight away. I also know through experience that you don't always turn things around that quickly," he said.
Meanwhile England are considering appointing a fielding coach.
Jonty Rhodes, arguably the outstanding fielder of his era, has been linked with joining a backroom staff that already includes his former South Africa team-mate Allan Donald, now an England bowling coach.
"As with the rest of the support team we want the right person to do that job," Moores said. "If we get a fielding coach we want him to influence fielding in England not just at England level."
Taiwanese world No. 1 women’s doubles star Hsieh Su-wei on Saturday overcame a first-set loss to win her opening match at the Madrid Open. Top seeds Hsieh and partner Elise Mertens of Belgium, with whom she last month won her fourth Indian Wells women’s doubles title, bounced back from a rocky first set to beat Asia Muhammad of the US and Aldila Sutjiadi of Indonesia 2-6, 6-4, 10-2. Hsieh and Mertens were next to face Heather Watson of the UK and Xu Yifan of China in the round of 16. Thirty-eight-year-old Hsieh last month reclaimed her world No. 1 spot after her Indian
EYES ON THE PRIZE: Armed with three solid men’s singles shuttlers and doubles Olympic champions, Taiwan aim to make their first Thomas Cup semi-final, Chou Tien-chen said Taiwanese badminton star Tai Tzu-ying yesterday quickly dispatched Malaysia’s Goh Jin Wei in straight sets, while her male counterpart Chou Tien-chen beat Germany’s Kai Schaefer, as Taiwan’s women’s and men’s teams won their Group B opening rounds of the TotalEnergies BWF Thomas and Uber Cup Finals in Chengdu, China. World No. 5 Tai beat Goh 21-19, 22-20 in a speedy 33 minutes, her fourth straight victory over the world No. 24 shuttler since they first faced each other in the quarter-finals of the 2018 Malaysia Open, where Tai went on to win the women’s singles title.

Chen Yi-tung (陳奕通) secured a historic Olympic berth on Sunday by winning the senior men’s foil event at the 2024 Asia Oceania Zonal Olympic Fencing Qualifiers in United Arab Emirates. Chen defeated Samuel Elijah of Singapore 15-4 in the final in Dubai to secure the only wild card in the event, making him the first male Olympian fencer from Taiwan in 36 years and only the sixth Taiwanese fencer to ever qualify for the quadrennial event. The last appearance by a Taiwanese male fencer at the Olympics was in 1988, when Wang San-tsai (王三財) and Cheng Ming-hsiang (鄭明祥) competed in Seoul. The
A soccer jersey carrying a national map including disputed Western Sahara has become a hot commodity in Morocco after a diplomatic dispute with Algeria. Retailers said RS Berkane jerseys have been flying off the shelves after a Confederation of African Football (CAF) Cup match against Algerian club USM Alger was canceled last month over the jerseys. “We are overwhelmed by the influx of messages and requests,” said Brahim Rabii, representative of the official RS Berkane jersey distributor. Algeria broke off diplomatic relations with Morocco in 2021, partly over the issue of Western Sahara. The former Spanish colony is largely controlled by Morocco, but claimed
