Trott: 'I'm a better person' after break from cricket

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

England cricketer Jonathan Trott says he feels like a "better person" today after leaving the 2013 Ashes tour because of a stress-related condition. The 33-year-old said he "lost perspective" which "increased the pressure and anxiety" at the time, but he had since become "more understanding with regards to everyday life". "It's just a game of cricket in the end. It's not really life and death - as I perceived it to be a year ago," he said. Trott turned out for the England Lions in a two-match series against South Africa, and has been tipped by Michael Vaughan to make a full international return against the West Indies in April. This clip is originally from 5 live Daily on Monday 19 January 2015.
