MARCUS TRESCOTHICK has faith in England's blueprint of giving youth a chance, despite a 12th defeat in 18 ODIS.
In the absence of the injured Jos Buttler and several Test stars, England have turned to their fringe players in the Caribbean, but a slipshod batting display underpinned a series-opening loss in Antigua.
Each of the top six got to double figures but no one reached 50 in England's underpar total of 209, with the West Indies reaching a rain-adjusted target of 157 in 35 overs with eight wickets to spare.
Trescothick fielded debutants Jordan Cox, Dan Mousley, Jamie Overton and John Turner on Thursday and, ahead of today's must-win second ODI, spelt out his trust in the system.
