Trescothick eager to keep England job despite Hussey approach

SPORTS 22.08.2026

Marcus Trescothick has insisted he wants to continue working with England's Test team even though Mike Hussey has revealed an approach by incoming head coach Stephen Fleming to effectively replace him.

Text size:

Trescothick has been a member of England's backroom staff since 2021 and is currently leading the Test side on an interim basis ahead of Fleming's arrival.

Former opening batsman Trescothick and returning captain Joe Root oversaw an innings and 103-run thrashing of Pakistan in the first Test at Headingley on Friday as the hosts went 1-0 up in a three-match series.

Former Australia international Hussey has said he is considering an offer to work as England's Test batting coach, effectively Trescothick's role, after being approached by Fleming, his former boss at Chennai Super Kings.

"I'd love to carry on, of course," said Trescothick.

The 50-year-old, a member of England's 2005 Ashes-winning team, added: "I've a huge amount of respect for Stephen and what he's done in the game, he was a fantastic captain and leader, and has done a brilliant job doing what he's done as a coach.

"It's really not in my job (description) or position to judge that. We'll wait until we get the tap on the shoulder."
