No issues with the dressing room atmosphere, claims http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705 – Cricket News Update
James Anderson, one of England’s senior players, has claimed that the controversy related to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806 is now done and dusted and the dressing room atmosphere is back to normal.
Pietersen has had some issues with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) this year because of his desire to take complete part in the Indian Premier League (IPL), which resulted in the right-handed batsman’s retirement from the
shorter formats of international cricket earlier in the season.
The situation however, got worse after the stylish batsman’s controversial text-messages to some of the South African players during the Test series at home. Consequently, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 born cricketer was excluded from the team.
After an apology through a video message and giving his availability for every format, Pietersen is now back in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, which officially begins from November 15, 2012, with the first Test
at Ahmedabad.
While talking to the reporters at the end of England’s first tour match against India ‘A’, Anderson expressed that everything is smooth in the visitors’ dressing room and the players are just focused on the job at hand.
“I think that's actually happened and it seems to be back to normal in the dressing room and on the field," he said.
With more than 12 thousand runs and 30 international centuries, Pietersen is one of the modern-day greats, who is expected to play a big role for England in the forthcoming battle.
One of England’s strike-bowlers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ST-Finn-c2566, injured himself during the tour match, putting him in doubt for the first Test but Anderson thinks that his side have a number of quality players who can come in the playing-11 as able replacements.
The England spearhead hinted that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Onions-c1449 will get a chance to showcase his skills in the upcoming practice games.
"It's not ideal because you want to choose from your strongest squad but injuries happen and we're lucky that we've got a number of bowlers that can come in and do a great job for this team," Anderson added. "Graham Onions I'm sure
will get a chance in the next couple of games to show what he can do.”
