Trescothick becomes latest casualty


PERTH, Oct 25: England’s injury crisis deepened here Friday when opening batsman Marcus Trescothick became the fifth member of the 16-member squad to join the casualty list less than two weeks before the first Ashes Test.

As England completed a technical draw — which amounted to a moral defeat — in a two-day match against Western Australia, team management revealed Trescothick has an injured right shoulder.

The injury means both England’s openers are under a fitness cloud, with Matthew Vaughan still recovering from knee surgery.

In the WACA Ground warm-up clash, Western Australia slammed 313 for six wickets after dismissing England for a paltry 221 the previous day.

Nineteen-year-old left-hander Shaun Marsh, son of former Australian opener and national coach Geoff Marsh, underscored England’s problems when he hit a blazing 92 from 134 balls with 15 boundaries.

Marsh, not good enough to get a single game with the state Sheffield Shield team last summer, peeled off some breathtaking shots in 173 minutes of left-handed artistry.

On the injury front, England spokesman Andrew Walpole said Trescothick, 26, was to have a pain-killing injection for his injury, which had been troubling him for some time.

“The injury does not affect his batting — only his fielding,” Walpole said.

“He will be available for selection in the side for the three-day match against Western Australia, starting Monday.”
