Kevin Pietersen says he is "completely different person" after taking England role and hints at role ahead of Ashes

Kevin Pietersen has made a surprise return to the England cricket set-up, joining as a specialist on the white-ball coaching staff. He describes himself as a 'completely different person' following the role and has hinted he would not turn down the opportunity to contribute to England's coaching team for next year's Ashes series against Australia. The comments suggest Pietersen may be positioning himself for a broader involvement in England cricket ahead of the high-profile Test series.
