Joe Marler has withdrawn himself from England's plans for next week's match against Wales and the three-Test tour of Australia.
The Rugby Football Union announced Marler's withdrawal, and the Harlequins prop said he needed "a short rest" from the game.
England head coach Eddie Jones said: "Joe played brilliantly during the Six Nations and he will be a big loss in Australia.
"Joe knows better than anyone what it takes to be part of a winning international team and he obviously doesn't feel like he's quite there at the moment. We fully support Joe's difficult decision and admire his honesty."
