Why are these players from western countries across sports so mentally fragile? You would never hear something like this from players in the sub continent about poor mental well being. I guess the struggles one goes thru in the sub continent really toughen you up as a person. Its a shame really! I assume counselling wouldnt help either in such cases.
It's not such as new thing, cricket has more than a few cases going back over the years.The bubble life on tour has brought out issues players have to deal with now, restrictions on movements,time away from family.
It was over a year ago Eoin Morgan said the bio secure bubbles are not sustainable,so he already knew there would be issues for the players.Recently mental and physical health are getting closer together which can only be a good thing.
You have your view but if you want to expand another viewpoint try a book called The Curse of the Strong by Dr Tim Cantopher.
The book is broken down for the layman understanding of how the mind works and a explanation of stress points,coping methods and what type of personalities can be affected by mental health issues.
It's a real eye opening explanation anyone can understand.
I can thoroughly recommend it.
