London: Former England skipper Alastair Cook has voiced bewail over a preference to sideline all-rounder Kevin Pietersen from a inhabitant patrol in 2014.
Pietersen was axed from a patrol with England executive of cricket Andrew Strauss citing a “massive trust issue”, following their 0-5 Ashes array detriment to Australia.
Now, Cook, who quit a captaincy on Monday, put a censure on a England Cricket Board (ECB) observant that a whole emanate was not scrupulously handled.
“I do wish it had been finished differently. we felt it wasn’t rubbed utterly good by a ECB. we know we was a lightning rod for it, each chairman suspicion it was my decision. we felt we gimlet a brunt of that, foul in my opinion,” Cook was quoted as observant by dailymail.co.uk on Tuesday.
“I felt a small bit let down by a ECB in that one period, where they kind of let me out to dry a small bit. But that’s all left now,” he added.
“I consider we all have regrets over a approach it was handled, though when Andrew Strauss came on house and finished a final preference (Pietersen) wasn’t entrance back, it finished it a small easier.”
Commenting on a preference to quit as a Test captain after being in a purpose for some-more than 4 years, he said: “It was a tough preference though in one clarity easier than we expected. The tough bit was giving it divided and revelation myself it was time to go, since it is such a shining job, though it was easy since we felt we was done.
“I’d been to a good a integrate of times as England captain and we couldn’t go again. I’ve looked behind a bit over a final integrate of weeks meaningful this was a finish and I’m utterly unapproachable of what I’ve achieved,” he added.
