LONDON : Jonathan Trott vowed to stay as ‘relaxed as possible’ after being handed arguably the most daunting set of circumstances possible in which to make his England Test debut.
The South Africa born batsman was named Sunday in England's 14-man squad for next week's must-win Ashes Test against Australia here at the Oval and national selector Geoff Miller confirmed that, late injury permitting, Trott would play in place of the dropped Ravi Bopara.
Essex batsman Bopara managed just one and nought during England's innings and 80 run fourth Test defeat at Headingley, a result that saw Australia level the five-match Ashes series at 1-1 with the Oval finale, which starts on Thursday, to come.
