David Willey, the England cricketer, has announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket at the end of the World Cup. His decision is not related to England's performance in the tournament.
In his statement, he said his decision is 'nothing to do' with England 's performance in this year's tournament as the reigning champions are currently slumped at the bottom of the table with five defeats in six matches. After missing out on a spot at the 2019 World Cup , Willey has battled hard to regain a place in the side in 2023.
'I have worn the shirt with immense pride and given my absolute everything to the badge on my chest. 'I've been very lucky to be a part of such an incredible white ball team with some of the best players in the world. 'I've made some memories and great friends along the way and been through some very difficult times. 'To my wife, two children, mum and dad, I wouldn't have been able to know my dreams without your sacrifice and unwavering support throughout.
