David Gower: 'Jonathan Trott will be remembered as a fine player'

Jonathan Trott will be remembered as a fine player for England, says David Gower.

Former England captain David Gower has said that Jonathan Trott will be fondly remembered after his retirement yesterday.

The 34-year-old quit international cricket after a poor return to the international fold against the West Indies, just over a year after he was sent home from Australia with a stress-related issue.

Trott spent four years as England's number three batsman, and Gower has said that people will remember him as a successful player.

He told Sky Sports News: "Everyone will remember Jonathan for the good stuff, and there were four or five years of really good stuff, starting with a hundred against Australia at The Oval in his debut Test match. He was a tough nut, and for him to come back at all was a major achievement.

"I think if you look back at that first part of his career, both in Test cricket and one-day cricket, he gave a lot to the team and I think that is where people will happily, and with a smile, remember him."

Trott scored nine Test centuries and averaged 44.08 in 52 matches.
