Warwickshire's Jonathan Trott to retire at the end of the season

WARWICKSHIRE have announced that former England batsman Jonathan Trott is to retire at the end of the season.

The 37-year-old, who has spent his whole county career at Warwickshire, played 52 Test matches before retiring from international cricket in 2015.

Trott has scored 17,750 runs in 269 first-class games at an average of 43.93, with 44 hundreds.

"Choosing to retire at the end of the season is something that I have spoken about at length with my family," said Trott.

"This is now the right time to look at the next chapter of my career," he added.

Jim Troughton, first-team coach at Warwickshire, said: “Trotty will leave behind a legacy to the Bears and English cricket.

“He can be extremely proud of his achievements at domestic and international level and I will always regard him as a great team-mate, player and, most importantly, a good friend.”
