SOUNDBITE: (English) (On Kevin Pietersen's return)

"Look as I said it's great to have Kev (Kevin Pietersen) back, you know, and like any batter in the team, he's there to score runs and also to get off the field to pass on the experience he's got to the rest of the lads. He's played a huge amount of cricket now, I think ninety test matches, a lot in the sub-continent as well with the IPL (Indian Premier League) and you know that experience is invaluable for us if we're going to get used to these conditions as quick as we can."

SOUNDBITE: (English) (On Kevin Pietersen's return)

"it takes a little while to get back into your rhythm and top form but he's an amazing cricketer and you know playing Twenty20 cricket the first few innings that he had, he might have been a tad rusty, but he scored a good fifty in the semi-final and with couple of knocks in the prep games for the test series, I'm sure he'll be fine."
