St. George's (Grenada), April 21: England bowling legend Sir Ian Botham said batsman Jonathan Trott should be left out by England for the second Test against the West Indies starting on Tuesday.
Trott suffered a miserable return to Test cricket as he was dismissed for four runs in his two innings as an opener in the drawn first Test in Antigua.
Botham insisted English county side Yorkshire opener Adam Lyth should be handed his debut in place of Trott on Tuesday.
"I don't see the point in playing Trott at the moment. I'd look to give Adam Lyth a go. Lyth has consistently scored runs over the last few years so I'd say he deserves his chance," Botham was quoted as saying by skysports.com on Monday.
