Michael Powell, the Glamorgan batsman, was today released from England's NatWest Series squad with the news that Marcus Trescothick passed a fitness test.
Powell was called up as cover before the first game, against New Zealand, which was washed out at Old Trafford. Trescothick was doubtful with an ankle injury ahead of that match, but has now recovered. Powell will now be able to play in Glamorgan's National League game against Surrey on Sunday.
Powell, 26, nearly made the original squad, but missed out at the last minute, and has missed out again. He played against England for Wales in the warm-up match at Cardiff last week, scoring 49 as Wales lost by six wickets.
