**Somerset’s Marcus Trescothick has had to fly home from the Champions League Twenty20 in India after a recurrence of his stress-related illness.**The former England opener, 33, will play no further part in the event where Somerset have reached the second phase.
“Marcus has made a great effort to travel to India,” said Somerset director of cricket Brian Rose.
“Regrettably it has not worked out for him and he has travelled back to England to rejoin his family.”
Rose added in a statement on the club website: “The club and all his team mates have fully appreciated this effort and personal commitment and look forward to further success on his behalf.”

Trescothick, who will captain Somerset next season, scored 17 runs in his two innings in the tournament as they beat Deccan Chargers and lost to Trinidad & Tobago but qualified for the next phase.
His illness forced him to return home early from two England tours - to India in February 2006 and Australia in November that year - and after he collapsed at Heathrow Airport while waiting to fly out with Somerset for a pre-season tour to the United Arab Emirates, he formally announced his retirement from international cricket in March 2008.
