Moores backs Trott despite another duck

Share it Please
England coach Peter Moores has hinted that Jonathan Trott will retain his place in the side for the third Test of the series against West Indies.
Trott made 59 in the first innings in Grenada as England posted their first century opening stand for more than two years. But he was out for a duck in the second innings, meaning he had failed in three of his four innings since returning to the side in a new role at the top of the order. With time running out to blood other options before the Ashes - after this Test in Barbados, England will play two against New Zealand before the Ashes begins - some critics have urged the selectors to give Adam Lyth an opportunity. But Moores suggested that Trott is gradually rediscovering the form that once made him the ICC's world player of the year and warned that Lyth - and other members of the squad - could be destined for a frustrating tour.
