Jonathan Trott: 'I wasn't depressed, just suffering from burnout'

Jonathan Trott insists that he was not suffering from depression, but rather burnout when he left England's Ashes tour in November.

England batsman Jonathan Trott has insisted that he has not been suffering from depression, but rather burnout.

The 32-year-old left the Ashes tour in Australia after the first Test in November due to a stress-related illness, but is on course to make his comeback.

In an interview with Sky Sports News, which will be aired on Sunday evening, Trott said: "I remember day two or day three, it was a bit of a blur, I was getting headaches and all sorts of things and I wasn't eating properly towards the end and that's when the sleep started getting disruptive and emotionally that was probably when I was worst and it just boiled over.

"I had nothing left in the tank or the battery - mentally and emotionally pretty drained and had nothing left to give really."

Trott has also spoken about the reaction when he returned home from the tour. He added: "People come up to you and say, 'it's good to see you're out and about' and I'm like, 'I'm not crazy I was just burnt out!' and I can't say that after chatting with people and people the ECB put in place, I can realise what had gone on and why I was feeling like that."

Trott is expected to make his comeback for Warwickshire in April.
