Trescothick, who led England in Thursday's defeat to Australia after captain Michael Vaughan suffered a groin strain, has been impressed by the assured displays of Hampshire seamer Tremlett since joining the squad a week ago.

Tremlett was called in after Glamorgan fast bowler Simon Jones received treatment for a knee injury and responded with a four-wicket haul on his debut against Bangladesh and recovering from a shaky start against Australia to claim the key wicket of Adam Gilchrist.

"I've been impressed with him during the two games he has played," said Somerset left-hander Trescothick.

"He has obviously got a hell of a lot of bounce when he lets go of it because he's so tall. There is something there the way he thinks about the game as well, he knows the right moment to bowl a yorker, to bowl a slower ball or to bowl a bumper and it's always good to see when young players take it on themselves.

"He knows the right times and he has shown that in these two games so I think there's every chance of seeing him again. He's a handful with his height and if we can get a few more yards of pace out of him he'll be even better."

Trescothick was in a similar situation himself five years ago after being drafted into the squad as a replacement for the injured Nick Knight and has never been dropped since from either the Test or one-day squads.

"I think he's a good prospect," admitted Trescothick.

"The way he bowled against Bangladesh, we all saw how he can get extra bounce. In the middle period of the innings, when the fielding restrictions are gone, he's definitely harder to hit.

"When he played against Australia, it wasn't so much a case of wanting to see him against the best team because he had already impressed us with the bounce he gets."

Trescothick is likely to discover later Saturday whether Tremlett will continue with the team during Sunday's game against Bangladesh at Headingley.

England are also due to make a decision about Jones, who has not played since impressing during the emphatic Twenty20 victory over Australia but is due to bowl at the Academy in the next day or so to try and prove his fitness.
