Tait training again after spell of depression

BRISBANE (Reuters) - Fast bowler Shaun Tait was back training with the Australian cricket team on Monday, three months after walking away from the sport with depression.

Tait was a surprise inclusion at the 15-man Test squad's five-day training camp in Brisbane to prepare for the team's tour of the West Indies starting later this month.

The player will not be involved in Australia's tour of the Caribbean but took the chance to boost his fitness after shocking team mates and officials by quitting the game in January.

Tait was invited to take part in the camp for the first two days after meeting Cricket Australia (CA) officials and selectors to discuss his new contract.

The 25-year-old was able to keep his contract with CA intact after assuring selectors he would return to cricket.

Tait has targeted the start of the domestic season in October for his return to first-class cricket with South Australia.
