England Allrounder Chris Woakes announced his international pension on Monday after missing selection for the Ashes series that started in Australia in November.
Team director Rob Key said last week that the 36-year-old, who suffered from India in a disrupted shoulder last month, could not be seen in plans for the future.
“The moment came and I decided that the time for me is to retire from international cricket,” Woakes said in a statement on social media.
“Playing for England was something I aimed for since I was a child who dreamed in the back garden, and I feel incredibly happy that I have lived those dreams.
“Representative of England, the three lions wear and share the field with teammates in the past 15 years, many of whom have become lifelong friends, are things that I will look at with the greatest pride.”
He looked forward to continuing in County Cricket and said he would explore franchise opportunities.
Woakes played in 62 tests, 122 one -day internationals and 33 T20 internationals.
He was a 50-over world cup winner with England in 2019 and in the T20 format in 2022.
He ends his test career, which started in 2013, with 192 wickets on an average of 29.61. He scored one test century and seven half center, on average 25.11 points.
“The images of Chris that runs out to hit his arm in a pendulum to try to win a test match this summer reflected how much he gave to play for his country and the best teammate he could be,” said ECB chairman Richard Thompson in a statement.
“He has been a lord of the field, with the skills and fierce determination to win over it, regularly to the opportunity on the largest stage with bat and ball.”
Key added: “Chris Woakes is one of the best people who played the game. Handed out an extraordinary career alongside two of the biggest bowlers in England ever. A man who helped every team in which he played, even before he walked onto the field.”
