Jonathan Trott says that he is "not bothered" following criticism of his batting style against Ireland.

England batsman Jonathan Trott has said that he is "not bothered" by criticism of his one-day batting style.

Trott, who has averaged 53 runs in 31 ODI appearances, came under fire for taking 104 balls to accumulate 69 runs in Dublin on Thursday against Ireland.

The 30-year-old later admitted that while he would have liked to have hit more boundaries, he is happy to continue doing what is in the best interest of the team.

"It's the job the captain and coach want me to do so as long as I get it right I'm not bothered," he said.

"I go about my business and do what is best for the team. The way cricket is going now, the attention on it, there are a lot of people with a lot of opinions, but I'm not really fussed to be honest.

"Maybe I could have done things a bit differently but it was really difficult, the ball was seaming and it was really, really tough for new batters. Somebody needed to be there."

Trott has been part of the England ODI setup since 2009, since when they have lost just one series.
