England bowler David Willey says 'I never wanted this day to come' as he announces his retirement from international cricket.
The 33-year-old has played in England's past three matches in India, taking five wickets and scoring 32 runs.
"I have worn the shirt with immense pride and given my absolute everything to the badge on my chest," Willey said.
