Liam Livingstone has slammed the England hierarchy following his exile from international cricket, saying no-one cares about you when you are dropped.

The Lancashire all-rounder has exactly 100 caps for his country across all three formats but has not featured for over a year.

In an interview with ESPN Cricinfo, the 32-year-old was highly critical of his treatment by England director of cricket Rob Key.

He also described his time at last year#39;s Champions Trophy as the worst experience I#39;ve had playing cricket and said he did not miss being involved in the recent T20 World Cup.

The England and Wales Cricket Board#39;s Ashes review, covering tour planning and preparation, individual performance and behaviours after the 4-1 thrashing in Australia, is still ongoing.

Livingstone, reflecting on a lack of communication after his dropping in a brief phone call by England coach Brendon McCullum in May, said: I don#39;t think it would have reached a minute.

I asked why; they said they wanted to try someone else. That was off Baz (McCullum). Brooky (captain Harry Brook) sent me a text.

Keysy said nothing, (he) said #39;I#39;ll speak to you in the summer#39;.

I actually rang him one day, and he said he was busy at a Test camp at Loughborough and then I didn#39;t hear off him until the end of September.

That probably sums that group up as a collective. That was a bit of an eye-opening experience about the group and the regime: if you#39;re in, you#39;re in, and if you#39;re not in, no-one cares about you.

Livingstone, still in demand on the franchise circuit, with a pound;1 million ($1.32 million) IPL deal from Sunrisers Hyderabad and a pound;350,000 bid from London Spirit at last week#39;s Hundred auction, insisted: I still believe I#39;m one of the best players in white-ball cricket in England.

Just because I#39;m not playing for England, because of a couple of peoples opinions, it doesn#39;t mean that I#39;m not good enough to do it.

As for missing the T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka and India, where Will Jacks performed well in Livingstone#39;s old role of spinner and hard-hitting batsman, he said: I didn#39;t miss it one bit.

There wasn#39;t any part of me that was wishing I was playing in that team, to be honest.
