(Reuters) – England batsman Kevin Pietersen may consider quitting test cricket after this year’s back-to-back Ashes series against Australia, his former team mate Andrew Flintoff said yesterday.
Pietersen, 32, has been ruled out of next month’s two-match test series at home to New Zealand because of a knee injury he sustained during fielding practice in the away series against the same side last month.
“I wouldn’t read too much into his not playing New Zealand, Kevin will be ready (for the Ashes),” retired all-rounder Flintoff told Sky Sports News. “There are 10 Tests against Australia in the next few months, I expect England to win and expect Kevin to be part of that. “But I would be quite interested to see if Kevin tries to play test cricket after that.”
