He's just showing his thought process. Typical English behaviour. Nothing more, nothing less.
It's good that he showed it out in the open, now everyone knows their true intentions.

Firstly, that's one of the finest hotels in India.

Secondly, degrading the infrastructure of a country that your ancestors colonised and looted is hilarious and ironic. https://t.co/IhQtcZwwMq

Never Wanted This Day To Come – David Willey

David Willey announced his retirement from all forms of cricket after the 2023 World Cup. Willey emphasized that his decision wasn’t influenced by England’s tournament performance. The cricketer expressed his immense pride in representing England.

“I have worn the shirt with immense pride and given my absolute everything to the badge on my chest. I’ve been very lucky to be a part of such an incredible white-ball team with some of the best players in the world. I’ve made some special memories and great friends along the way and been through some very difficult times.”

Willey has notably led England’s white-ball bowling attack across 70 ODIs and 43 T20Is. He was part of the England squad that reached the final of the 2016 T20 World Cup. He was excluded from the 2019 World Cup due to the emergence of Jofra Archer as a key player.
