The 22-year-old made the admission in a note posted on his Twitter handle in which he vowed to 'emerge from this phase even stronger than before'."It's been a journey of hard work, perseverance, dedication and immense courage to get to this point in my cricket career. However, I've been coping with severe anxiety related to the sport for a while now," he wrote."I felt trapped. I've pushed myself through all the distress so far, but now I fee the need to put my mental health and well-being above all else. And so, I've decided to take an undefined sabbatical from cricket.

I'd also like to express my gratitude to all those who have understood me and supported me in this quest of self-analysis. This phase has been difficult but it has also helped me realize who my real friends and well-wishers are."Aryaman's sabbatical comes at a time when many cricketers are opening up to the possibility that they need time away from the game to deal with this kind of illness.Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has stepped away from cricket citing mental health issues during the T20I series against Sri Lanka in October.
