London: England batsman Jonathan Trott said Tuesday he was ready for an international recall. Trott dramatically quit the Ashes tour of Australia last year following the first Test in Brisbane, citing a stress-related illness, and has not played for England since. However, the 33-year-old South Africa-born right-hander has returned to county duty with Warwickshire, although a recurrence of the illness in April led to another break from cricket.

But since coming back again with the Midlands county in June, Trott has been in fine form for Warwickshire with four centuries -- two each in the County Championship and the 50-over One Day Cup. However, his time away from the international scene meant Trott was not awarded a central contract by the England and Wales Cricket Board last week. Nevertheless, Trott told the BBC on Tuesday he had been "available" for England duty for several weeks.
