England bowler David Willey will retire from international cricket at the end of the World Cup.
The 33-year-old has played in England’s past three matches in India, taking five wickets and scoring 32 runs.
The left-arm seamer has played 70 one-day internationals and 43 T20s since making his England debut in 2015.
He was a regular in the ODI side before being dropped on the eve of the 2019 World Cup for Jofra Archer, a tournament England went on to win.
England still have three games remaining at this year’s tournament, starting with a match against Australia on Saturday, but the defending champions are facing elimination in the group stages after losing five of their six matches so far.
Willey and Chris Woakes are the only genuine new-ball bowlers in the World Cup squad and while he remains available for selection this weekend, Gus Atkinson and Brydon Carse could come in if England opt to look to the future.
