The former opener played 76 Tests for England and is best remembered for being the second highest run-getter at the 2005 Ashes series behind Kevin Pietersen.

He was named a wisden cricketer of the year that same year.

Trescothick has been roped in to assist England’s chief batting coach Graham Thorpe, who is nursing a sore shoulder and missed the team training Tuesday due to illness.
