England’s 50-over side will have greater overlap with their Test team in the run-up to next year’s Champions Trophy and the 2027 World Cup, Marcus Trescothick has said.

Trescothick stepped in as coach during the 3-2 one-day international series loss to Australia, and will perform the same role during the white-ball tour of the Caribbean which begins at the end of October. Ahead of Brendon McCullum assuming the white-ball role in January, to become all-format coach, Trescothick said there will be greater alignment of England’s ODI and Test sides going forward. The Australia side who lifted last year’s ODI World Cup included eight regular Test players.

“I think you’ll see more correlation between Test matches and ODIs – look at Australia, they’re world champions,” Trescothick said. “Their best three bowlers play the majority of their games and they rotate the odd one out as they go.

“We’re building a stock of bowlers and we’ll position them how we need to, rotate when we need to but try and build to a point where we have five genuine fast bowlers that will play across all formats of the game, give or take the odd injury.”

When fit, Jofra Archer is an automatic selection in the ODI side. Archer is not currently playing Test cricket, although England hope that he will do so again from next summer. But Trescothick confirmed England hope to develop a nucleus of quick bowlers to appear in all formats. Matthew Potts, Brydon Carse and Olly Stone all featured against Australia and will be among the Test squad who fly to Pakistan on Tuesday. Gus Atkinson, who was rested for the white-ball series after a stellar debut Test summer, is also set to be picked for the Champions Trophy in February.

Test opener Ben Duckett thrived in his maiden series as ODI opener, scoring 305 runs in five innings.

“We knew it would correlate well and cross over into playing in this format,” Trescothick said. “He’s been in good form, he makes it really hard for people to bowl at him because of the areas that he hits; he pulls off a length, he can scoop you, he can then drive you and do different things.”

Trescothick confirmed that both Joe Root and Ben Stokes could return for the Champions Trophy. “Of course,” he said. “Whenever you’re bringing that calibre of player back into it and the amount of experience that they have, that’s going to bolster the squad.”

Trescothick said he expected Jos Buttler to thrive when he returns as captain in the new set-up. McCullum said that he had observed Buttler looking “a little bit miserable at times” while leading the white-ball side. Buttler will return from his calf injury in the Caribbean, when England play three ODIs and five Twenty20s.

“I expect him to find it really enjoyable going forward,” Trescothick added.

“There’s no reason why Jos won’t fit back into that mould, score millions of runs, captain well and fit back into the team perfectly. Around the group, it’s been a great opportunity for him, just to step back and not worry about the pressures of playing but have the opportunity to work with players and coaches, talking, building relationships, understanding what’s going on, sit back and watch a little bit sometimes and see how the team is operating. When you’re playing, you’re so engrossed in what’s happening so it’s an opportunity to sit back a little bit.”
