Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has urged the current England squad to stay united and focus on their performance on the cricket field rather than engaging in unnecessary media banter. Pietersen expressed his unwavering belief in captain Ben Stokes’ ability to inspire a comeback in the ongoing Ashes 2023 series, despite England being 0-2 down after the first two Tests.
In an article for Betway Satta, Pietersen emphasized the importance of letting their actions speak louder than words and advised the players to concentrate on winning the next three Test matches rather than making bold statements in the media. He praised Stokes for his statement, “We’ve beaten teams 3-0 before and we want to do that again,” and fully supported the captain’s optimism.
Pietersen encouraged the England players to refrain from conducting press conferences before the upcoming matches and instead focus on showcasing their skills on the field. He stressed the need for sensible decision-making and unity within the team, rallying them to support Stokes as their leader. Pietersen highlighted Stokes’ exceptional performance at Lord’s, where his brilliant innings of 150 saved the team from potential disaster and overshadowed some of their shortcomings.
