Jonathan Trott has denied Andrew Strauss is under pressure as England captain, dismissing the situation as a media creation.
A personal struggle to post major scores, with just one century since in 48 innings and none since November 2010, coupled with the team's recent struggles have started to raise questions over the Middlesex man's position.
But Trott said: "Every player goes through ups and downs. When someone is not scoring as many runs as they would like, or expect of themselves, it is always highlighted by you guys (the media). I'm sure it will have a similar effect as it did when Alastair Cook came through his little slump. I'm surprised you guys haven't learned your lesson from that."
Trott's words were echoed by pace bowler Steven Finn.
"I don't think there's any question that he won't be in charge throughout the summer and beyond," he said on Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek programme.
"He's a great captain, everyone here's backing him and this is something that just hasn't come up within the team because no one in the team believes it's valid.
"Straussy will score runs and that's that."
Finn added: "Straussy leads from the front. He's an exceptional leader, he's a levelling person. When we have our highs we don't ride them too high and when we have our lows we don't ride them too low. And that's what a great captain does I think."
