Kevin Pietersen Revives his Long-Term feud with Andrew Strauss

The outspoken England middle-order batsman Kevin Pietersen once again revived his long-term feud with the current Director OF England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and former England captain Andrew Strauss in the wake of the England wicket-keeper Johnny Bairstow’s ‘head-butt’ saga. Notably, Strauss defended Bairstow’s head-butt to the young Australian debutant Cameron Bancroft as “a little bump of heads” and “something he does with his rugby mates”.

He was completely baffled, surprised and shocked that this was a massive issue,” the 100 Tests veteran was heard saying.

It was suggested that “bump of heads” is a form of greeting Bairstow uses, which the 37-year-old Pietersen vouched up on.

Pietersen was accused of sending ‘provocative’ messages to South African team members about Strauss resulting in him losing his spot in the team. In 2015, since Strauss became England’s head of cricket and Pietersen has not played international cricket.
