http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MH-Yardy-c1946, will miss Friends Life T20 clash against Somerset, as he has been given another rest period by the county after suffering a relapse in his battle against
depression.
The club confirmed Yardy will not be part of the Sharks team that will play against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Somerset-c843 this evening. A statement issued by the Sussex CCC said that the all-rounder wants a short break from the game and is hopeful about a return
to action soon.

The 30-year old http://www.senore.com/Cricket/March-c74391 due to depression. The mental stress also made him miss the first month of the 2011 county season.
Yardy made a comeback to the game last month in a Clydesdale Bank 40 clash between Sussex and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Netherlands-c753 at Hove, on May 2.
The all-rounder has played his entire domestic career with Sharks and the club has continuously been pledging to do everything it can to help their player.
The professional cricket manager of Sussex, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mark-Andrew-Robinson-c74518, had earlier said that they were very proud of the all-rounder.

“As captain and one of our leading players, we'll give him all the time and all the support necessary so that he can continue to lead this club forward”, he added further.
Yardy is not the only English player, who has had to deal with, depression. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marcus-Edward-Trescothick-c74400, the current captain of Somerset retired early from international cricket after suffering from depression.
In the absence of Yardy, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Murray-Goodwin-c2040 is likely to captain the Sharks until the England all-rounder finds himself fit to play.
