Former England seam bowler Chris Woakes has used his autobiography to criticize managing director Rob Key regarding the manner of his international exit. Woakes concluded his 217-match international career, which included 62 Test appearances, during the fifth Test against India at The Oval in August 2025.
During that final red-ball match, Woakes dislocated his shoulder while fielding but still chose to come out to bat to assist his team. Despite this commitment, he has characterized his departure from the England setup as 'shabby.'
