Fraser: Compton not where he wants to be physically and mentally

Middlesex Director of Cricket and England selector Angus Fraser says England batsman Nick Compton is taking a break from cricket because he is "not where he wants to be, physically and mentally."

The 32-year-old scored just 51 runs in five innings during the recent Test series win against Sri Lanka.

Fraser said: "Chatting with him and having conversations with people from England it became clear that he needs a break.

"He is very committed to his cricket, works exceptionally hard, but things are not going as he wants at this moment in time, and physically and mentally, he is not where he wants to be."
