Cricket can wreck havoc mentally. You spend days away from home (weeks if you're an international) for games and for so much of it you're not actually doing anything. You can play a 4/5 day game and your own contribution can last a few minutes if you're a struggling batsman. A game can also be won and lost by one slip up that everyone will remember. Crickets live in their own heads a lot. Plus they drink a lot which can be problematic in the long run
