I still hope he'll be back but at 32 it's unlikely.

Sadly I think that's him done, such a shame for this to happen to someone.

Yep, wouldn't wish it on anyone. England have shown he was probably more key to the test team than KP.

Such a shame my favorite cricketer of the last few years bar Brad Hodge and possibly Pujara.

Hope he gets well and finds some peace in his life.

"However, the key moment came when he dropped a catch. Standing at slip to the offspin of Jeetan Patel, Trott put down Ed Joyce on 91. Joyce went on to score an unbeaten 151 and win the game for his team. Trott appears to have blamed himself and his inability to concentrate as he once could."

I said at the time that the likes of Vaughan and Hoggard had no idea what they were talking about in criticising Trott when he said it was 'burnout'.

Trott knew if he said he suffers from 'depression' his England career would have been over.

I think it is a real shame. A great talent has been lost to mismanagement and poor advice.

I think it is about time EVERYONE rallied around Trotty and gave him the help and support he needs.

Such a shame use to love watch him bat and on his day he was among the best shot makers out their I hope he can get himself together and have a role with coaching

Wow what a loss to cricket. It seems that he feels that cricket is destroying his mental state and family life. I don't see a return to cricket based on his statement.

I will probably get shot down for this:

I think this is a good thing for both Trott and the ECB. Not a good thing for the individual that it has happened - I wouldn't wish what Trott is going through on anyone, and I sincerely hope he is able to sort himself out.

What I mean is that it is good that it has happened now. Trott knows that he cannot go on within the England set-up, England now know that they cannot pick him, and can start planning for who will bat at 3 and start to build po their new batting order.

I have a feeling that over the years the ECB have chosen to turn a blind eye to player emotional problems, and keep on picking them and forcing them forwards to play whilst ignoring the symptoms.

I'm thinking of Tresco, Trotty, Yardy, Bopara, Monty and for different reasons Swann.

I think all of those have been picked to play because it suits Team England, rather than looking deeply at the player themselves and realising it's a disaster to pick them / take them on tour.

Don't get me wrong, I also feel it's beholden on the players themselves to be a bit stronger and say "look guys, don;t push me in to this - I really can't play right now" and that's something I don't think has happened when it should in the past.

ECB's main concern is ��

They care little for the game of cricket.

I feel gutted for him

mattw · « **Reply #11 on:** April 18, 2014, 12:24:39 AM »

A shame for himself, England and cricket in general. Wish him all the best.

Sadly, it highlights again how 'mental health' issues are so poorly dealt with and how common it is in the modern and stressful world we live in.

The figure is 1 in 4 are dealing with some form of it at any one time regardless of status and wealth.

With a young family too I hope he finally manages to get the proper help and support he needs.

As for the ECB or any form of admin... do they really care about individuals or what they can contribute or more about results, making money or how they ultimately look? Only they know the answer...

Cover_Drive · « **Reply #13 on:** April 18, 2014, 02:05:48 AM »

Very sad.

As much as I hate to say this but I feel Trott is suffering from depression because that is instantly what relapse suggests.

Considering how he 'brushed off' depression prior to his Country return, he might be in denial?

Yup, poor lad
I suppose the intensity of top level cricket is not for everyone
I know the county and university set ups try to monitor,guide and advise on players abilities to handle what's gonna be thrown at em etc, ,but at the end of the day,it's down to the individual how they handle it.

I hope he stays with cricket in some way

And I also hope that Yorkshire bell end Vaughan tries to think before opening his gob
