Recently many players announced their retirement like Shikhar Dhawan, and many more. Dawid Malan said:
“Perhaps it’s in my nature, but I often felt like I had something to prove, and whilst the pressure goes with the territory, it does take a mental and physical toll. That being said, I’ve loved representing England, winning big games, and playing alongside so many fantastic players.”
“I am so grateful to so many people: to the coaches and staff of the various England teams, to everyone who helped and supported me along the way, and to all my England teammates over these seven years. None of this would have happened without the endless support and sacrifices of my parents, and I’d like to thank my wife Claire for her love, unwavering support, and for looking after our two children and our home while I was so often on the road.”
