Kevin
Pietersen dismisses the reports that he is going to retire, and also
clarifies that he will be actively preparing himself for the upcoming
Ashes 2015 and will ensure that England wins it.
After the whitewash at Ashes series, the England team is said to be planning for a revamp and this has also led to the speculations that Kevin Pietersen, England's fourth highest run scorer of all time and second in the lost series, is retiring. the news were such that the responsibility of the loss was to be borne by South African born English Batsman.
The media began speculations when the current coach Andy
Flower failed to confirm whether the recent series loss will result in
Kevin Pietersen loosing his place in the squad.
But the speculations has been kept down now as the batsman has confirmed that he has no intentions of retirement and will work harder for the Ashes 2015 series and make sure that England wins this.
Critics claimed the loss due to lack of a strong player in the series. And Pietersen was under fire as he chose to not play his usual attacking style and failed to deliver to the expectations by the team. "This was a bad loss for the England cricket team and as part of our review, we'll be looking at playing personnel and support staff and making sure we have the right people in place," Flower told reporters on Monday.
"But this will be a new start, and so it should be. It does feel like the end of some type of era." Former captain Michael Vaughan wanted England to make Pietersen more responsible by naming him vice-captain.
"I have my fingers crossed and hope England do not take the easy way out of this mess by making Kevin Pietersen the victim for the Ashes whitewash," Vaughan, who in 2005 became the first England skipper to win the Ashes since Mike Gatting in 1986-87, wrote in his column for the Daily Telegraph.
