Trescothick named in England squad

---

Marcus Trescothick is one step closer to a return from the international wilderness after being named in England's 30-man preliminary squad for the inaugural Twenty20 World Championships that take place in South Africa in September, reports Cricinfo.
Trescothick has not been considered for England since he withdrew from the Ashes tour last November with a recurrence of the stress-related illness that had forced him home from the India trip earlier in the year. But his momentum-seizing batting was sorely missed during England's uninspiring World Cup campaign, and the temptation to include him in the final 15 on August 11 could be overwhelming.
England's chairman of selectors, David Graveney, said: "Marcus Trescothick is a contracted player and was named in the England Performance squad earlier this summer.”
Squad: James Anderson (Lancashire), Ian Bell (Warwickshire), Ravi Bopara (Essex), Tim Bresnan (Yorkshire), Stuart Broad (Leicestershire), Glen Chapple (Lancashire), Paul Colling-wood (Durham) (captain), Alastair Cook (Essex), Andrew Flintoff (Lancashire), James Kirtley (Sussex), Jon Lewis (Gloucestershire), Mal Loye (Lancashire), Darren Maddy (Warwickshire), Dimitri Mascarenhas (Ham-pshire), Paul Nixon (Leicester-shire), Monty Panesar (Northamptonshire), Mark Pettini (Essex), Kevin Pietersen (Hampshire), Liam Plunkett (Durham), Matt Prior (Sussex), Chris Schofield (Surrey), Owais Shah (Midd-lesex), Ryan Sidebottom (Notting-hamshire), Jeremy Snape (Leicestershire), Vikram Solanki (Worcestershire), Chris Tremlett (Hampshire), Marcus Trescothick (Somer-set), Jonathan Trott (Warwick-shire), Luke Wright (Sussex) and Michael Yardy (Sussex).
