Kevin Pietersen opens up

Vithushan Ethantharajah of sport.co.uk indulges Kevin Pietersen in a free-wheeling interview that deals with unsolicited 'rotation', non-existent Twenty20 freelancers, and criticism from the man he displaced from the England side - Graham Thorpe.

“I think he’s probably been wanting to say it for a long time since I took his place. It’s nice that Thorpey’s got himself mentioned in a few interviews and that he’s done an interview. It’s probably nice for him to see his name in the papers, it’s nice, and it’s good. I couldn’t care what he says or anything else; it’s not constructive and probably no point saying it. I’ll be in his position in a few years time! He’ll talk about players who are in-form and out of form, but at least he’s got himself in the media, must be really nice for him!”
