The 36-year-old Malan told British newspaper The Times of London that he exceeded expectations with his success in the white-ball game but was disappointed that he couldn't handle the intensity of Test cricket.

Dawid Malan's international records Dawid Malan played 22 Test matches, 30 ODIs and 62 T20Is for England. In 62 shortest format matches, the former left-handed batsman scored 1,892 runs with a best score of unbeaten 103 runs. In 22 Test matches, Malan smashed 1,074 runs and in ODIs, the veteran has 1,450 runs to his name. In Tests and One-Day Internationals, Malan's highest score has been 140 runs. He has a total number of eight international centuries for the "Three Lions."
In 2020, Malan was ranked as the number 1 T20I batsman and later was part of England's T20 World Cup 2022-winning side.
Malan was left out of the squad for the upcoming white-ball series against Australia and hasn't played for England in any format since the 50-over <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/photo/womens-t20-world-cup-2024-team-indias-schedule-101940/1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">World Cup</a> last year.
It was his inability to forge a career as a Test batter that left him with the most regrets.
I took all three formats extremely seriously but the intensity of test cricket was something else five days plus the days building up," Malan told the Times. "I'm a big trainer; I love hitting lots of balls and I'd train hard in the build-up, and then the days were long and intense. You can't switch off.
"I found it very mentally draining, especially the long test series that I played, where my performances dropped off from the third or fourth test onwards."
