The patient Chris Woakes announced on Monday his retirement from the International Cricket after England indicated that he was no longer in his plans.
The last Woakes game was last month against India in The Oval, where he went out to hit with one hand with his arm in a deep, having dislocated his shoulder in the field.
He did not face a ball in his short time in the fold, since India won by six races to level the series in 2-2.
That injury ruled out for consideration for the next Ashes tour of Australia and, at the age of 36, he effectively demolished the curtain of his career in England.
Woakes, who made his debut in the test for England in 2013, took 192 WICKETS in 62 games and scored more than 2,000 races to an average of 25.
It also appeared in 33 International T20 and 122 international of one day, playing a key role when England won the 2019 World Cup.
Rob Key, managing director of the male Cricket at the Cricket Board of England and Wales (ECB), said last week that Woakes was unlikely to appear again, and the SUV has chosen to call at the time in his international career.
“The time has come, and I have decided that it is the right time to withdraw from the International Cricket,” he wrote on an Instagram post. He also shared the same message on his X account.
“Playing for England was something that I aspired to do since I was a child dreaming in the rear garden, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have lived those dreams.
“Representing England, using the three lions and sharing the field with their teammates in the last 15 years, many of whom have become friends of a lifetime, are things that I will look to look at the greatest pride.”
Warwickshire bowling player said he hoped to continue playing the county game and exploring opportunities in the franchise cryket.
Key paid a warm tribute to Woakes.
“Chris Woakes is one of the best people played by the game,” he said. “An extraordinary race forged along with two of the best bowling players in England (James Anderson and Stuart Broad).
“A man who helped each team in which he played, even before walking towards the field.”
The president of the ECB, Richard Thompson, described Woakes as a “gentleman outside the countryside, with the skills and fierce determination to win in him.”
“Chris’s images walking with the arm in a Honda to try to win a trial match this summer reflected how much he cared to play for his country and be the best teammate that could be,” he said.
England faces Australia in the first test of five -game ashes, in Perth on November 21.
