Sarah Taylor: Five cricketers who took break from cricket due to mental illness 1Recently, the 27-year-old England womens team’s promising wicketkeeper-batsman Sarah Taylor took a break from cricket due to anxiety. She had a very bad World T20 tour in India. She scored 49 runs at an average of 9.80. After her lackluster performance, she understood that England and Wales Cricket Board selectors (ECB) will not select her for the Pakistan series at home.

She is currently undergoing cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to get rid of mental disorder.  However, this is not the first time Taylor took a break from cricket. In 2010 he took a four months break from cricket.  She missed the Ashes.

England selector Mark Robinson recently forced Women team’s captain Charlotte Edwards to take a call on her 10 years long illustrated career.

Taylor, after Edwards’ retirement, understood she is no more going to be selected. But she is sure will back in international cricket.  She said,  “I would like to say that I am 99 percent sure that I will play again,” she added. “I want to put an England shirt back on and train with the girls, I miss them terribly.”
