Pietersen To Make SA Test Series

According to the man himself, quoted in yesterday's Guardian, Kevin Pietersen will "certainly be in the Test squad" for the winter tour to South Africa.

He said, "The time scale is difficult but i will definitely be doing everything I can to get on that first plane to South Africa which is at the end of October. I might be a few days off that but I will certainly be in the Test squad. The one-dayers I am really pushing for but the Twenty20s might be a rush."

For obvious reasons, the series is an important one for KP, and his availability for selection is equally important to the team. He will be able to start training proper in two weeks time, and if his place on the plane is subject to hard work, England needn't worry; it's one of the reasons he got so badly injured in the first place.
