There have been some big names in English cricket who have decided to end their careers abruptly after suffering from mental health issues, with two of them now being associated with the England National Cricket Team, assistant coach Marcus Trescothick and fielding coach Sarah Taylor. Apart from that, Jonathan Trott also stepped away due to a stress-related illness and subsequently retired.
"It’s with sadness, but also with huge pride, that I can announce my retirement from professional cricket. Although this has by no means been an easy decision, given the struggles I've experienced with the game in recent times, I've made this call in order to prioritise my mental well-being."

"I saw them as bumps in the road": Craig Miles on criticism and pressure
Further, he stated that he had self-doubt over his performance, which has negatively affected his confidence and also made it difficult to sustain in the game. He previously also had the same problems, but then he was young, and he overcame all the problems as the 32-year-old pacer believed it to be temporary roadblocks in his career.
"The naivety of youth, ambition and the continual desire to be the best player I could be helped me through previous challenges. I saw them as bumps in the road, part of the process, or simply a period of form, and those were the justifications that allowed me to persist, bounce back and come through the other side.
Craig Miles had a brilliant first-class career
Craig Miles added, "Unfortunately, I now feel I no longer have the capacity to continue in a way that allows me to train, play and perform to a standard I can accept from myself. Of course, there have also been so many periods when I’ve loved the game, played with freedom and truly expressed the player I am."
