Stephen, you are right in saying that cricketer mental health issues are not new. A number of early test players committed suicide. These included the early great English batsman Arthur Shrewsbury in 1903, Albert Trott (brother of Australian captain Harry) in 1914 and England captain Andrew Stoddart in 1915. And the first test cricketer to die, Billy Midwinter, passed away whilst an inmate of an asylum in 1890.
