Jonathan Trott:Five cricketers who took break from cricket due to mental illness 1

In recent time, Jonathan Trott had emerged as the most talented middle order batsman in England cricket. He was a late bloomer, but , his batting at the top order was a reassuring site in England cricket. But in the Ashes in Australia after the Brisbane Test, he was afraid of Mitchell Johnson’s thunderous short balls. He left the series midway and returned home with mental illness. England team director Andy Flower bemoaned Trott’s sudden loss of charm.

After going through the medication he attempted a comeback in 2014, but his discomfort towards the short ball appeared more prevailing.  However after the break, he made a strong comeback in Royal London ODI tournament. But his international return didn’t materialize.
