As someone who struggles with depression, sometimes just being around the ones you love and feeling comfortable in your surroundings is all you need.

Look at Yardy and Tresco.

Question will be, can he play international cricket, with all its trials and tribulations, again?

I also have a depression/anxiety illness and I agree that time away with your family can be good. As someone I've looked up too at number three I just hope he takes the time he needs before making the choice to return or not.

Looks like Trotty is ready for the season, one of those warm feeling moments

If it was simple burnout then get him bk in to test side ASAP...

Absolutely top notch article.

Having suffered from Burnout before, it's not as simple as going off and having a rest for a bit then coming back.  You lose your passion and focus for doing something you love.  Yes, you need time off, but in that time you need a complete mental break away from everything, just to help rediscover your love for it.

sky have an interview with him - sunday 7pm.

I saw a promo for this last night and as the Telegraph article said he seemed to really be asking him a few difficult questions.

If i remember from Trescothick's book didnt he do exactly the same and do an interview with Sky (and Ian Ward) where he tried to play down the real situation of what had gone? Not suggesting for one minute that Trott is doing the same

[uknsaunders]

From the cricinfo article it seems that Trotts form of mental illness was inflicted by his own intense personality. It appears he has recovered and wiser for it. As with Tresco only time will tell whether he makes it back to England honours.

To me it's also a stark warning to the ECB to sort their schedules out. Back to back ashes series was always a stupid idea (I know we lost and it sounds like sour grapes lol) and can't of helped his mindset. If he had 3 months off and gone to a tour of Sri Lanka after Christmas, for example, it may of never come to this.

Burnout will always be an issue for England as they are still the only 12 months a year international side. Others are catching up fast so it will be interesting to see if other teams have the same problems.
