Trescothick knows England’s young guns need to play more 50-over cricket

MARCUS TRESCOTHICK admitted England’s next generation are being held back by a lack of 50-over cricket.

England’s young guns were defeated in Barbados as West Indies claimed a 2-1 win in an ODI series where several touring players were familiarising themselves with the format or learning on the job.

With the best young talent hoovered by The Hundred in the last three years, their exposure to List A cricket is diminishing as the One-Day Cup runs concurrently and is, in essence, a secondary tournament.
