Andrew Strauss rules out Kevin Pietersen's return due to lack of trust

Andrew Strauss, the new director of England cricket, ruled out the return of Kevin Pietersen in the near future. Strauss said addressing the media for the first time after taking on the new role that the issue with Petersen did not work, but a lack of confidence.

"Over the months and years of trust between him and the European Central Bank have been eroded ... so we decided it's not in the short-term interest from the side it is to be in this team," said Strauss ruling Petersen effectively out of the return of the ashes of this summer.

Petersen, meanwhile, recorded his highest score of the first class as he broke a unbeaten 355 for Surrey. The Petersen skip the Indian Premier League this season after Colin Graves, European Central Bank President has said that he will be to make runs in county cricket to make a comeback.

But the appointment of Strauss has changed the equation. Strauss and Pietersen have a history themselves. Petersen, accused of sending abusive texts, and then Strauss commander to opponents South Africa. Strauss himself miss offensive word to describe Petersen on the air. The issue of trust is something that Strauss repeatedly emphasized in his press conference.

"It's not about his ability as a player. I've come confidence. You can not build it over a few days. There is no confidence at the moment. I wish it were otherwise, but this is the case.

"We're not able to be put wheret the European Central Bank and Kevin Pietersen dont trust each other. If there is a way to build confidence Let's look at it. But at the moment we are totally separate," said Strauss.

While the Petersen rule out immediate return, and avoid Strauss to a question whether he will be selected later in.

"He is not banned from playing for England. He is not part of our plans this summer, and I can not make any guarantees for him, or any player, behind it."

Despite the lack of confidence also he stressed Strauss, also revealed that Petersen offered an advisory role to help the team on the amounts Limited England. The offer was rejected by Petersen, who felt that it was not in the right place to accept it. Petersen has been raging on the issue for a few days now, but reports suggested that Petersen informed by Strauss yesterday evening about the decision, soon after completing the triple tons to Surrey.

While Petersen remained the elephant in the room, as Strauss took the opportunity to provide support to Alastair Cook to lead England in the Ashes later this year. He also stressed that the root Joe Ian Bell will replace the post of deputy commander of the experiences of the team but he stressed that "I do not think of Bill."

With the dismissal of Peter Morris as coach, England to see for a replacement. Jason Gillespie, pacer coach and former Australian team Yorkshire, speculated to be the favorite for the role. Strauss confirmed that Gillespie was in the account but stressed that he was one of the few candidates being considered.

Despite the lackluster performance at the World Cup, which saw England ODI crashing without overcoming any other test team, Strauss confirmed that Owen Morgan will continue to lead the team.
