• Anxiety issues curtailed former batter’s playing career
• Rob Key states ambition for future English head coach

Marcus Trescothick has revealed he wants to become England’s head coach on a permanent basis after learning to cope with his mental health issues. The former England batter is serving as the men’s white-ball interim head coach during the West Indies tour before Brendon McCullum takes up the role in all formats from January.

“Previously I thought I wanted to be a head coach, but taking the reins for the two series against Australia and here versus the West Indies has confirmed to me that I would like the opportunity to do it at some point,” Trescothick told the Mail on Sunday. “I’d love to have an opportunity, when the time comes.”
