International Recognition
His performances in the 2007 season, and with the Performance Squad in India over the winter of 2007–08, led to his first call-up to the England ODI squad on 4 January 2008. In December 2009, a series of injuries in the England senior squad on tour in South Africa prompted Tredwell's call-up to England's Test squad. Coach Andy Flower described his as a "like for like" replacement for Graeme Swann in case Swann's side injury worsened. Earlier on in the tour, he had been added to England's limited overs squad, also as cover for Swann, although he did not play a game as England won the ODI series 2–1, but subsequently made his ODI debut on England's tour of Bangladesh in March 2010. He made his Test match debut in the second test against Bangladesh at Dhaka on 20 March 2010. He was named Player of the Match in England's final group qualifier of the 2011 World Cup against the West Indies, with bowling figures of 4-48.
