The former England opener was forced to return home from Somerset's campaign after a recurrence of his stress-related problems.

"Whatever help he might require, the PCA will be very willing to help. Part of the PCA's intention is for these circumstances - to provide assistance when it is needed," Solanki told BBC Radio Five Live.

"It's just a question of what sort of help Marcus requires. There is quite clearly a provision for counselling if that is what is needed. Certainly there is always someone on the end of the phone if it is needed. We're a pretty close-knit unit around county cricket and I'm sure there will be no shortage of people on hand to help if he so requires."

Trescothick was first troubled by depression on England's tour of India in 2005-06 and then quit the following winter's Ashes trip just two weeks after leaving home.

He formally announced his retirement from international cricket last year after getting only as far as the airport before a Somerset pre-season tour.

His latest setback came despite having his wife with him in India.

Trescothick's former England team-mate Shaun Udal told Sky News: "It's obviously a real problem. He had his family with him as well so it must be horrific for him.

"He's a wonderful guy. He's a true team player and he'd do anything to help you out.

"It's a real shame if it happens to anybody but for somebody of Marcus' standing in the game it's awful."
