On our 5th podcast, Luke and Simon are joined by one of England’s best ever opening batsman. Marcus Trescothick appeared 123 times for his country, and played for Somerset for 26 years, including 6 years as captain. In 2006, Marcus was forced to fly home after he suffered mental health issues on England’s tour in India. Later that year he also returned home from the Ashes tour of Australia, with what was described as a "recurrence of a stress-related illness". In today’s podcast, Marcus talks about his experiences of that time, and gives his views of how cricket and other sports have dealt with the increasing instances of mental health challenges being seen amongst professional sportspeople.
