  • [cricket]JONATHAN TROTT
    Former England captain Michael Vaughan on Trott leaving the Ashes Tour:
    It's the right thing for him, I wish him well. I hope he gets back but he's got to take his time. There's no point rushing, he's got to take as long as it takes. He's got to get himself right. I guess if you're just thinking about one thing, all your life, and then you have a bad period as well, within that, it can build up even more. Marcus Trescothick speaks about how he realised he needed other things in his life away from cricket.
