Trott gets England recall for Windies tour

The England and Wales Cricket Board has recalled South Africa-born batsman Jonathan Trott for a three-Test tour of the West Indies .

Jonathan Trott has been named in the England Test squad for the first time since having to withdraw from the 2013-14 Ashes series with a stress-related condition.

The South Africa-born batsman was recalled on Wednesday by the England and Wales Cricket Board as part of a 16-man party for a three-Test tour of the West Indies starting next month.

All-rounder Ben Stokes was also included, along with the uncapped trio of Durham fast bowler Mark Wood, Yorkshire spinner Adil Rashid and Yorkshire opening batsman Adam Lyth.

Captain Alastair Cook returns as well, having been left out of the 50-over squad for the ongoing Cricket World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, where England crashed out in the first round.
