NEW DELHI: Bowling all-rounder David Willey, who recently announced his retirement from international cricket at the end of the ongoing One-Day International World Cup in India, expressed his feelings of being "upset, angry, and disappointed" after not being awarded a central contract with England. His exclusion from the contract made the decision to retire much simpler for the 33-year-old cricketer.
Willey, a left-arm fast-medium bowler, was not offered a central contract when the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced their new contract list last month. This absence of a contract means that he is now free to participate in various franchise-based cricket leagues around the world.
