England's regular vice-captain Marcus Trescothick has revealed that a viral problem coupled with exhaustion were the reasons behind his early exit from the tour of India, contradicting the "personal reasons" explanation given by coach Duncan Fletcher for his departure.
"The main reason was that I picked up a bug while I was out there in Mumbai. It really hit me hard. I wasn't sleeping, I couldn't shake it off really.
It got to the point when I said, Look, I'm fatigued. I was struggling to concentrate on my cricket as much as I can do leading up to a big Test and prepare in the right way. So I spoke to the people that I needed to and decided that the right thing to do was to come home", Trescothick told a sports channel here.
"The virus is a funny one. It's stuck with me for such a long time. Even still now, up to three weeks ago I was still getting relapses. If I trained too hard or came back too quick then it seemed to knock me back for a couple of days", he added.
