Somerset’s director of cricket Brian Rose has assured their supporters that England batsman Marcus Trescothick will be fit to play a full part during the 2008 season.
Trescothick withdrew from the county’s pre-season tour to the United Arab Emirates on Friday night with a stress-related problem.
Rose told somersetcountycc.co.uk: "I spoke to Marcus last night and, while it is unfortunate that he has suffered a recurrence of his stress problems, I am certain he will be available to start the season with Somerset.
"I don't see the setback as a major problem. Marcus did a tremendous job for us last season and will be a key player again this summer."
