"Although this may not come as a surprise given the past year, it just feels like a natural time at the end of my contract," Wood said in a statement on social media."I've always tried to be resilient and come back from injury to prove people wrong and show everyone what I can do. "To have been a point of difference in Ashes series wins, two World Cup wins, and to have thrilled crowds every time he got the ball in his hand is something very few players achieve. He can look back with enormous pride on a career very well spent."Related topicsCricketEngland Men's Cricket TeamDurhamMore on this storyGet cricket news sent straight to your phonePublished28 August
