England star David Willey’s fuming X-Factor wife slams national chiefs as she says ‘they don’t deserve you, love’
DAVID WILLEY’S X-Factor wife blasted cricket chiefs as he quit the international game and said: “They don’t deserve you, love.”
Singer Carolynne claims the all-rounder has been “short-changed” as he’s the only player in England‘s 15-man squad not offered a central contract.
Willey, 33, has been one of the few successes of his nation’s dire World Cup title defence but will bow out once the tournament ends.
And his decision to announce his forthcoming exit in the middle of the Cup sums up England’s plight in India.
Now singer Carolynne, who competed on the X-Factor in 2011 and 2012, has fired a bouncer at the English Cricket Board.
She shared a photo on social media of Willey dispatching India’s star batsman Virat Kohli for a duck on Sunday with the words: “You’ve been short changed love. ECB don’t deserve you.”
England sit bottom of the ten World Cup teams with just one win from six games, including a 69-round defeat to Afghanistan.
And after the tournament Willey will focus on his Northamptonshire, career, having played 133 limited-overs internationals.
It’s understood he became frustrated with his latest failure to earn a lengthy deal with the ECB.
Apart from his 14 squad-mates in India earning such a contract, England have signed up 15 other players to the multi-year arrangement.

Willey posted on Instagram: “Never wanted this day to come. From a young boy, I’ve only ever dreamed of playing cricket for England.
“So, with careful thought and consideration, it is with great regret that I feel the time has come for me to retire from all forms of international cricket at the end of the World Cup.”
