Spinner Sophie Ecclestone says she considered quitting cricket following the criticism of her during England's Ashes defeat last winter.
Ecclestone, one of the leading bowlers in the world, refused to do an interview during the defeat in Australia which led to questions over England's attitude and ability to handle criticism.
Ecclestone, 26, took a brief break from cricket earlier this year and was left out of England's white-ball series against West Indies at the start of the summer to manage an injury.
"During the West Indies series, I wasn't actually sure if I was going to come back and play cricket," Ecclestone, who has returned for the ongoing series against India, told Sky Sports.
"It was a tough time."
