Jonathan Trott pulls out of Ashes tour with stress-related illness November 25, 2013 -- Updated 0910 GMT (1710 HKT) Trott scored 19 runs in two innings during England's first test defeat by Australia. Batsman Jonathan Trott leaves England tour of Australia due to stress-related illness Departure comes soon after England lost the first Ashes test against Australia Tourists suffered a 381-run defeat in Brisbane in first test "I'm not 100%," says Trott (CNN) -- Cricketer Jonathan Trott has pulled out of England's tour of Australia because of a stress-related illness. England lost the first Ashes test against Australia -- one of sport's great rivalries -- with batsman Trott scoring 19 runs in two innings when he struggled against Mitchell Johnson's fast bowling. "I don't feel it's right that I'm playing knowing that I'm not 100% and I cannot currently operate at the level I have done in the past," said the 32-year-old Trott. My priority now is to take a break from cricket so that I can focus on my recovery. I want to wish my team mates all the very best for the remainder of the tour. England were beaten heavily in the first test -- the tourists suffered a 381-run defeat in Brisbane -- and Australian batsman David Warner labeled their batting "poor and weak." Trott is not the first England cricketer to pull out of a tour with a stress-related illness. Batsman Marcus Trescothick left the 2005-06 India tour and the 2006-07 Ashes tour of Australia, while bowler Michael Yardy came home from the 2011 World Cup. "Jonathan Trott is an incredibly talented cricketer who has proven himself time and again for England," said managing director England cricket Hugh Morris. The cricket side of things is unimportant now, all that matters is that Jonathan is given the time, support and space he needs to recover. We fully support his decision to leave the tour and the ECB will provide all the assistance we can to help Jonathan and his family through this period. Jonathan has asked for privacy while he recovers and I would urge everyone to respect that.
