Jonathan Trott to retire at end of the season


Former England batsman Jonathan Trott will retire at the end of the season.

Warwickshire have announced Trott's decision to bring down the curtain on a 17-year, 52-Test career.

The 37-year-old joined Warwickshire in 2002, notching a century on his first-class debut in 2003.

Trott helped England scoop Ashes series victories in 2009, 2011 and 2013.

"I've been fortunate to have enjoyed a great career with Warwickshire and England and I am very grateful for all of the support that I have received from my fellow players, coaches and management who I have worked with," said Trott.

"Choosing to retire at the end of the season is something that I have spoken about at length with my family and this is now the right time to look at the next chapter of my career.

"Warwickshire CCC is a very special club and I've been immensely proud to have worn the Bear and Ragged Staff throughout my career. We've made a strong start to the 2018 season and I hope that I can make a major contribution to more success in my final year at Edgbaston as a player."
