Chief selector Geoff Miller on Wednesday dismissed the possibility of Marcus Trescothick's [Images] return to the England [Images] team for the final Ashes Test against Australia [Images] after the Somerset batsman had hinted at coming out of his international retirement.

"Marcus has many times said he's retired from international cricket, and until I hear contrary to that, he will not be a part of the selection process," Miller said.

"He knows where he is, he's really comfortable and playing really, really well, but he's retired from Test cricket so he's not a part of our thoughts at this moment in time," Miller told Cricinfo.

Trescothick had quit international cricket last year following stress-related illness.

The Somerset player earlier hinted that he would consider a comeback but the England selectors would have to approach him first.

"If I was asked, I don't know. If they threw questions at me, I would listen. But until they do, I can't answer," he was quoted as saying by The Sun.

"I'm retired, I'm done. No one has spoken to me or said anything to me on the issue. I am just carrying on what I am doing at Somerset, carrying on playing. Anything else is hypothetical.

"It's always nice to be thought of but people are talking about it more than I am thinking about it," said the 33-year-old batsman.

Earlier this year, Trescothick had rejected Andrew Strauss' [Images] offer to come out of retirement.
