England batsman Jonathan Trott has said he was ready to make a return to the England team after battling a stress-related illness. Trott said the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) was now satisfied he was fine following a series of assessments. He stated: "The ECB and I have had our final get-together. I've been signed off by the ECB. "Whatever comes along with regards to selection, maybe. I'm not putting too much pressure on myself." The Warwickshire batsman flew home from the Ashes tour last winter after admitting the issue, before attempting to make a comeback with Warwickshire. He was criticised after appearing to suggest his problems were merely down to burnout and having to deal with pressure, with critics including England captain Michael Vaughan saying they felt he had trivialised the issue. However, it turned out the matter was more serious than perhaps Trott himself had made it appear when he suffered a relapse and had to take a break from county action. Since June, however, the batsman has managed to get back in the groove and has made four centuries. Of these, two have come in the one-day cup. "There's been some challenging times," Trott noted. "Some tough times. But I've been available a while, for the last month or two, I suppose, in terms of selection and I'm enjoying my cricket.
