Background
Trescothick was immersed into cricket from an early age since his father was a amateur cricket player himself. After an excellent spell at school he was awarded a Somerset scholarship in 1993.

Debut

Rise to Glory
Marcus Trescothick continued his good form which made him shine in the debut with a Man of the Match-winning 87 not out against the West Indies at Chester-le-street. He even bowled well in a few matches.
His crowning glory came when he struck twin centuries against West Indies at Edgbaston, becoming only the 9th English player to claim a century in each innings of a Test match. He also had the reputation of being a sharp slip fielder to boot.
Low Points
During England's tour of India in February 2006, Trescothick suddenly returned home citing personal and medical reasons. He asked to be dropped out of the squad the ICC Champions Trophy stating stress-related illness.
