England's Jonathan Trott has left the Ashes tour of Australia because of a long-standing stress-related condition.
Batsman Trott scored 19 runs in two innings during England's first Test defeat and struggled against the bowling of Mitchell Johnson.
"I don't think it is right that I'm playing knowing that I'm not 100%," said the 32-year-old.
England coach Andy Flower added: "He needs time away from this environment and time with his family."
The tourists will play an Australian Chairman's XI over two days from Friday, before the second Test in Adelaide on 5 December.
Trott scored 10 and 9 in two innings as England suffered a 381-run defeat in the first Test at the Gabba in Brisbane.

"I cannot currently operate at the level I have done in the past," he added.
"My priority now is to take a break from cricket so that I can focus on my recovery."
The displays of England's batsmen were branded "poor and weak" by Australia's David Warner after the opening Test.
England captain Alastair Cook labelled the comments "disrespectful," a view shared by Flower who says Warner's views had no impact on Trott's decision to leave.
"Jonathan has been struggling with this condition for quite a while," added Flower.
"We have been on tour for about a month and he has had his ups and downs through that month and it is not directly related to that.
"I would also say players commenting to fellow professionals in the media is disrespectful and I think on this occasion he [Warner] has got that horribly wrong."
