Anxious wait for Trott

Jonathan Trott will discover in the next 24 hours whether he is likely to be fit enough to feature in any of England's one-day series against the West Indies.

Trott suffered a blow to the hand while facing Liam Plunkett in a net session on Tuesday afternoon and was sent to hospital for what England described as "precautionary X-rays".

The results of Trott's scans are expected to released soon, while England are also sweating over the fitness of Ian Bell, who suffered a minor tear in his left groin while taking part in fielding practice.

Both Trott and England will be hoping he has not done anything too serious as they gear up for the first of two Twenty20 internationals against the West Indies on Thursday.

This season, Trott's one-day form for Warwickshire has been red hot. As an attacking right-hander, he averages 88 in the 50-over Friends Provident Trophy and 44 in the Twenty20 Cup, with a strike rate of 114.

England are looking to inject some aggression into their top order and Trott could be the one bring it - providing he is fit.

Otherwise, coach Peter Moores could look towards wicketkeeper Matt Prior or even Kevin Pietersen, though he stated last week he is perfectly happy batting at number four.

If Trott is ruled out it will be a frustrating delay for the former South Africa Under-19 international, who has had to wait five years to break into the England fold.

Like Pietersen before him, Trott turned his back on the South African system to pursue his ambitions of playing international cricket in England.

He had represented South Africa at junior World Cups but signed for Warwickshire in 2002, when the Bears were coached by family friend Bob Woolmer.
