Monty Panesar is looking for a new county after being released by Essex
Former England spinner Monty Panesar says an inability to settle due to
mental health issues has been the cause of his cricketing downfall.
The 33-year-old, who was released by Essex at the end of the 2015 season,
admits "full responsibility" for his actions, saying that paranoia has
prevented him from being able to settle.
Santa's special delivery!
Good luck Beefy!

Panesar has played 50 Tests for England since making his debut against
India in 2006, taking 167 wickets at an average of 34.17, but he has not
featured in the England side since the 5-0 whitewash in Australia in 2013/14.
The slow left-arm spinner is aiming to return to cricket this winter overseas
with a view to joining a county next season.
The left-arm spinner has represented three counties in England
This would mean either returning to Northants, or signing for the fourth
county of his career.
"When my confidence goes low a little bit, I kind of get some paranoid
thinking coming into my mind," Panesar told Sky Sports News HQ. "It makes
me think that the world is against me.
"It took me quite a long time to be true to myself and I was in denial for a bit
of time. But when I got down to the bottom of it, it was actually me. I take
full responsibility."
Panesar was released by Sussex late in the 2013 season after urinating on a
Brighton nightclub bouncer. After a loan spell at Northants, it was Essex
who took the plunge on the player during a tumultuous stage of his career.
However, Panesar featured in just five first-class fixtures for Essex last
season, spending much of the summer in the second eleven. During his final

game of cricket for Essex, Panesar registered his 700th first-class wicket
against Division Two Champions Surrey, but he was released at the end of
the season.
Panesar has not played for England since the 2013/14 Ashes series
"When I was in the dressing room I would think that some of the guys were
not with me or maybe the world outside was not with me. The further I
didn't accept this idea and the more I was in denial, the more paranoid I got.
"I needed help and I did ask for help. I think I have got a good team around
me which has helped me with this. I met a hypnotherapist and he made me
realise that something wasn't quite right."
England have struggled to find a prolific spin bowler since the retirement of
Graeme Swann, and the decline in form of Panesar, two players who played
their final Tests for England during the 2013/14 Ashes series in Australia.
England will tour India and Bangladesh next winter, which gives Panesar the
perfect opportunity to stake a claim for international selection, providing he
is able to make a successful return to the game.
Panesar took 17 wickets in three Tests during the 2012 series in India, which
England won 2-1, but his career has declined substantially since then and he
will have to work hard to restore his reputation.
