“This is not the way I wanted my England career to end”
Former England captain Andrew Strauss has finally broken his silence over the heated dispute he had with batsman Kevin Pietersen last summer during the national team’s home series against South Africa.
“He can be fantastic, really good and engaged in the dressing room and really go out of his way to help other people at times”
Former England captain Andrew Strauss has put his differences with flamboyant batsman Kevin Pietersen aside and endorsed the South African-born big-hitter to be a “fantastic” mentor to the younger players in the ODI squad.
“Kev gets a bad rap a lot I think for some of the stuff he says and does, but for me in this group he has been great with these young guys”
England limited overs coach Ashley Giles has announced that South African-born batsman Kevin Pietersen is a perfect role model for youngsters, despite all the controversies he has been involved in throughout his international career.
