England batsman Jonathan Trott has admitted that personal statistics and records are only important to him if they help England win matches.

Trott said that he and his teammates must continue looking to improve in order to help the team secure better results.

"It's not about personal statistics," he told Wisden EXTRA. "It's about winning. It's all about the team winning.

"The thing that matters to me is that the team tend to win when I do well. I feel confident in my ability to contribute for the team and I feel backed by the management. Alastair Cook and the coaches are clear about what my role is.

"[That is] to bat through and score as close as I can to a run a ball. There are times when it may seem I'm a bit behind the rate - but if I bat through, I won't be far away from that. We all have to improve constantly, and I have to find more boundary options."

England face Australia in the Champions Trophy on Saturday.
