Jamie Vardy and Gary Cahill announced their intention to retire from international duty with England today, although both did leave the door open to a return in emergency circumstances.

Leicester striker Vardy, 31, and Chelsea defender Cahill, 32, were both part of Gareth Southgate's squad that reached the semi-finals of the World Cup in Russia. However, both saw their playing time limited and believe the time has come to concentrate on their club careers. "When you get selected, you want to be playing. If you're playing week in, week out for your club, you want to be going to England to play as well," Vardy, who started just once at the World Cup in a group stage dead rubber against Belgium, told the Guardian.
