Jonathan Trott Biography
Coming from a family of rich sporting history, Jonathan Trott’s career began in South Africa, where he represented the U-19 team alongside Graeme Smith. He then moved to England and enrolled with Warwickshire in 2002. By 2005, he was already one of Warwickshire’s leading run-getters, trailing behind ex-English opener Nick Knight. In a relatively late call-up, “Booger” as he is called, made blink and miss appearances for England against the West Indies in two T20 Internationals in 2007.
Trott’s recall in 2009 was a baptism by fire in the final and deciding Test against Australia in the Ashes. The technically sound right-hander re-entered the limelight in assured fashion, scoring a hundred on his Test debut to help England clinch the series. Call-ups for tours to South Africa and Bangladesh followed. Impressive starts didn’t yield big scores until a double ton at the Lord’s in Bangladesh’s return tour of England. Following that was the tour to Australia and by that time Trott had already been established as a strong batsman at No. 3.
