Kevin Pietersen had admitted he would have ‘loved’ to play in England’ s new look Test setup, as he looks back on the ‘toxic’ environment that he played in during his time as an international. During his peak Pietersen was a pioneer of the modern game, and was known for his extravagant and counter-attacking batting style.
The 42-year-old’s play mirrored that of new England coach Brendan McCullum, who has drilled the exuberance into the current crop of England players after taking over this year. McCullum and new captain Ben Stokes have revolutionised the England Test setup, having recorded three emphatic victories over New Zealand and one over India.
The new hard-hitting national team brushed aside New Zealand with a 3-0 whitewash series victory, after chasing down 276, 298 and 295 across the three matches.
