Meanwhile, Pietersen also expressed his concerns about England’s spin options. Jack Leach, with 35 Test match experience, is the most senior spinner in the team, while Rehan Ahmed played only one match. On the other hand, Shoaib Bashir and Tom Hartley have not yet debuted for the English team.
India will not be shy at all in preparing spin friendly pitch – Kevin Pietersen
Kevin Pietersen, in his column for The Times, said that the question is, will England be able to perform well with the spinners they have? This will be the thing that decides the series. It’s going to rotate. I actually played in Vizag (Visakhapatnam) recently. It was a T-20 match, there also the ball spun and bounced! “Looking at what happened in Cape Town last week, they won’t be shy about preparing spin-friendly pitches.”
In the baseball era, Kevin Pietersen explained the art of defending the ball. He believes that cricketers need to spend time defending in the nets as this will give them the confidence to attack later. He assured that playing defense is not a negative thing as it can help cricketers get settled at the crease sooner.
