John Terry has said that he is focused only on helping Chelsea maintain their push for the Premier League title.
The defender, who retired from international football in 2012, was touted with a return to the England fold last week.
However, after leading Chelsea seven points clear at the league summit, Terry said that the future instead lies with his teammate Gary Cahill.
"A lot, lot went on with myself and England and I loved playing for my country," the 33-year-old told Sky Sports News.
"I was very proud to do that and captain my country twice. Unfortunately things have changed and moved on and I am concentrating on playing well and hopefully keeping us top of the league.
"[Cahill] seems to get better and better with every game. He is so comfortable on the ball. He is great in the air and reads it very well. He is quick. He is the man for England going forward. My days are gone and it is down to Gary and the young boys now to push on for our country."
Terry made his senior debut at Chelsea in 1998.
