Trott handed England Lions captaincy

LONDON - Jonathan Trott will captain the second-string England Lions in South Africa next month as he makes his international comeback, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced on Saturday. The 33-year-old South Africa-born batsman has not played international cricket since he withdrew from England's Ashes tour of Australia in November 2013 due to a stress-related condition. "Jonathan Trott will captain the four-day side with a captain for the one-day side to be announced at a later date," the ECB said on its website.
