Pietersen holds Ashes talks with England coach Fleming
KEVIN Pietersen, fresh from joining England’s backroom staff after over a decade away, has spoken with test coach Stephen Fleming about helping the red-ball side ahead of the next Ashes series, but said his schedule makes a broader role unlikely.
Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen has discussed potential involvement with the national team ahead of the upcoming Ashes series. The 46-year-old, who recently joined England's backroom staff, has spoken with test coach Stephen Fleming about assisting the team. Pietersen, the third-highest run scorer across all formats for England, was appointed as a specialist mentor to the white-ball teams earlier this month.
He mentioned that his schedule is quite demanding, but he wouldn't rule out the possibility of greater involvement. The Ashes series between England and Australia is scheduled to take place from June 18 to August 2, 2027.
