IND vs Eng, Kevin Pietersen: The England team captained by Josh Butler has lost on the Indian tour. India has defeated England for five -match T20 and defeated in the three -match ODI series. Under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian team won the T20 series 4–1 against England. On the other hand, India, led by Rohit Sharma, obtained a clean sweep in ODIs against England. India won the third match of the series played in Ahmedabad by a big margin by 142 runs. During the commentary in this match, former Indian coach Ravi Shastri revealed that, ‘England players participated in only one practice session throughout the series.’ Now former England team captain Kevin Pietersen has reacted to this statement.
Former captain Kevin Peterson targeted English team
After England’s defeat, former captain Kevin Peterson targeted the team, saying, “Ravi Shastri and I were discussing whether these people (England team players) had last practiced last week.” He attended the practice session only a day before the Nagpur match. He has not practiced since then. Only one batsman Joe Root practiced on the net. I am sorry, but you cannot come to India and make such a mistake. It is not that any player, whether male or female, go into a series and decide that he can perform well without practice. I am very sad. “When I heard that England had not practiced since the first match, I was completely surprised.”
This is not a golf tour, this is a cricket tour!
Peterson also took a sarcasm at English players to play ‘golf’ instead of participating in the net session despite disappointing defeat. The former captain said, ‘I understand, you enjoy it. This is the best time in your life. Play golf, spend good time. Playing for England is truly fun. But to be honest, you get money to score runs. You get money when winning a cricket match. You don’t get money to play golf. This is not a golf tour, it is a cricket tour.
Peterson unhappy with the idea of the Englishman
England batsman Harry Brook criticized Kolkata’s poor air quality during the T20 series. He said, “The mist in Kolkata is high, which makes it difficult to understand the ball.” Varun Chakraborty took his wicket in this match. Expressing his anger over the insult made by the England players towards India, Peterson said, “No, in fact, I am very sad to say that they are insulting the Indian situation and India in this way. ” I am very sad about this attitude of the British.
