Chris Woakes announces retirement from international cricket
Chris Woakes retires after a 14-year career highlighted by two World Cup wins and the 2023 Ashes player of the series award, sidelined by a shoulder injury sustained in August.
- Chris Woakes, the England all-rounder, confirmed his immediate retirement on Monday, writing `The moment has come, and I've decided that the time is right for me to retire from international cricket` after England omitted him from Ashes plans.
- A dislocated shoulder in the fifth Test at The Oval left Woakes out of Ashes selection, and his final act was walking out to bat one-handed in a last-ditch effort to win.
- Across formats his record included 62 Tests with 2,034 runs and 192 wickets, plus wins in the 2019 ODI World Cup, 2022 T20 World Cup, and 2023 Ashes player of the series.
- Rob Key, managing director of England men's cricket, and Richard Thompson, chair of the England and Wales Cricket Board, praised Woakes's character while fans responded with widespread tributes online.
- Looking ahead, Woakes said he will continue playing county cricket and exploring franchise opportunities in the near future, with his retirement coming before Ashes 2025-26 starts in Perth on November 21.
