'Stressed-out' Trott 'back on break' following short 'comeback'

England batsman Jonathan Trott is reportedly taking another break from cricket following a short comeback in the County Championship after suffering the same 'mental problems' that forced him to return home early from the winter Ashes tour.

Trott withdrew from England's disastrous series down under after the first Test in Brisbane with what the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) described as a 'stress-related illness' to take a four-month break, working with the ECB medical team and a psychologist in an effort to rebuild his career.

According to News.com.au, Trott has stepped away from the game again after just one County Championship Division One game for Warwickshire, in which he scored 37 and 26 in a losing cause against Sussex, with reports saying that his anxiety levels have been so high that he felt he had to take a break for his own well-being.

 

The news will spark fears that the brilliant career of England's No.3 batsman could be over, but Trott hopes more specialist treatment will enable him to return, the report added.
