Former England batter Kevin Pietersen has slammed a UK-based journalist for saying he and ex-India head coach Ravi Shastri were wrong in criticizing the visiting team for avoiding training sessions during the three-match ODI series in India. In response, the 44-year-old has questioned the journalist for citing injuries behind England players not training in the nets.
After a 0-3 whitewash against the Men in Blue, the cricketer-turned-commentator spoke about the significance of practicing in the nets following their debacle against spinners. The Jos Buttler-led side lost 13 out of 30 wickets to spinners in the three-match series.
