Former skipper reveals job ‘took a really bad toll on my health’ after his unbeaten 115 guides England to win against New Zealand

I couldn’t leave it at the ground any more, it was coming home. It wasn’t fair on my family, on people close to me, and it wasn’t fair on myself either. I had thrown everything at it and I was determined to help turn this team around but it got to the stage where it was time for someone else to lead, and I can influence it in a different role.
