"The whole issue will be discussed at length but I need a full understanding of everything before things can be taken any further," England Chairman of selectors David Graveney told 'The Times'.

Trescothick, who returned home on Wednesday following a recurrence of stress-related problems, had to be consoled for two hours by a doctor in the dressing room before boarding the flight for England.

It appears that the ace batsman quit the Ashes tour since the England management refused to allow him to bring his family out to Australia early.

His decision left the touring party in disarray with the first Test only eight days away and raises doubts if the 30-year-old cricketer will ever play for England again.

Coach Duncan Fletcher revealed last night that Trescothick had suffered a recurrence of the depression which forced him to quit the tour of India last February and led to him missing the Champions Trophy last month.

England were told by specialists treating the Somerset opener that he was ready to face the intensity of Test cricket again, but Trescothick complained of feeling stress on Sunday, the first day of the three-day match against New South Wales.
