England batsman Jonathan Trott has returned home from the Ashes tour in Australia with a stress-related illness.
Trott's departure has echoes of former England opener Marcus Trescothick's early exit from the 2006-07 tour to Australia when he left due to a stress-related issue, while Michael Yardy also returned home from the World Cup in 2011 after suffering from depression. Sky Cricket's Nasser Hussain drew parallels with the Trescothick situation and said: "I played with a very, very mentally tough cricketer in Marcus Trescothick and it unfortunately happened to him as well. "You feel for Jonathan Trott and you feel a bit for the England team as they will miss him and miss him on the field as he is a mighty fine player. "He has given a lot for England, a real lot. He needs some time with family, time with the medical people and time get right. Forget cricket leave the rest to the England boys out here. "We have seen it with Trescothick, we have seen it with Yardy, we have seen it others... Just go and get yourself right. "Cricket is important but the main thing is your health and getting yourself right for your family. Cricket will come again in the future for him." Trescothick himself Tweeted his support for Trott and said: "Let's not start pointing too many fingers at the reason why and how, let's just think about the man in the mist (sic) of it all."
