Marcus Trescothick:Five cricketers who took break from cricket due to mental illness 1

He was a prolific left-handed batsman. He was an automatic choice for England in limited-overs and Test cricket. But mental illness pulled down curtains over an outstanding talent. He played 76 Test matches and 123 ODIs.  He was the part of England 2005 Ashes win. He amassed 431 runs that summer.  But mental illness forced him to retire from international cricket on his 30th birthday in 2008 when he came to India with England team, but had to go back with a mental disorder. However, he continued with his county cricket job.  His form rewards him another one-year contract with Somerset. At 40, he is still playing cricket.
