A former England international says he does not regret turning down a call-up, explaining that it did not lead to him playing for the national team again. He frames the decision as a choice he made in pursuit of his own career goals.
Both outlets describe the same account: the player declined the opportunity to represent England and subsequently was not selected again. The reporting focuses on his personal reflection on the decision, with his stance emphasising that he feels satisfied with the outcome of rejecting the call-up, even though it limited his chances of further appearances for England.
