MARTYN Moxon wants England hopeful Adam Lyth to relax and put a potential Test match debut to the back of his mind when he returns to Yorkshire colours this weekend.

Lyth, along with Jonny Bairstow, Liam Plunkett and Adil Rashid, are all available to face Hampshire in the LV= County Championship at Headingley, starting on Sunday.

All four have been with England in the Caribbean since early April, but did not play any of the three Tests.

In Lyth's case, he missed out on the opener's berth to Jonathan Trott, who only reached double figures once in six innings, and has since retired from international cricket.

That means the Yorkshire opener, 27, is the next cab off the rank ahead of home series against New Zealand and Australia.

Lyth has enjoyed an exceptional 12 months for his county, scoring eight first-class hundreds.

"He mustn't put pressure on himself thinking he's got to get runs to get picked for England," said Moxon, Yorkshire's director of professional cricket.

"I don't think he will do that because he's mature enough now to just get on with the job, bat and get as many runs as he can.

"But I'm sure we will be reminding him, 'just go and bat the way you have done last season and in Abu Dhabi, and the rest will look after itself'.

"Clearly, Trotty's retirement opens up a spot and it would appear he's in the box seat. But we'll have to wait and see on that – it's down to the selectors. Hopefully he can get runs when he plays for us."

Lyth only batted once in a match on tour in the Caribbean, scoring 23 against a St Kitts XI before the first Test.

And Sunday's Hampshire fixture will be his only match action before the two-Test series against New Zealand starts at Lord's on May 20.

"That's the only worry I have. Nets don't replicate matches. He's lacking match practice," added Moxon.

"It's going to be the same with all four of them. We've got an important game on Sunday and we're hoping they will be match ready rather than expecting them to be."
