Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakakahoretia e te kaiwhakahaere whakahaere o te Poari Kirikiti o Ingarangi me Wales a Paul Downton kua whakapā atu ia ki a Kevin Pietersen ki te korerorero mo te hokinga mai ki te kapa motu. Kua tūmanako a Pietersen ka taea te whakaara anō i tana mahi i Ingarangi, ā, e kī ana ngā pūrongo i te Rāhoroi kua kōrerohia e te 34-tau te pakeke ki ngā takawaenga e mahi ana mō te ECB. 'Kahore ia i ui ahau mo te hui,' ka mea Downton. "I te mea e pā ana ki te ECB kaore he huringa o te tuunga. I tukuna e mātou he kōrero i te wiki kua hipa.' E ai ki ngā pūrongo i whakapā atu a Kevin Pietersen, te tangata kua whakarerea i Ingarangi ki te ECB mō tētahi hokinga mai. Kāore a Pietersen i whakakore i te hokinga mai o Ingarangi i muri i ngā kōrero i tukuna e te tumuaki o te poari Colin Graves. Ko Downton tetahi o nga tino tangata i peia ai a Pietersen mai i te whakatakotoranga o Ingarangi i muri i te 5-0 Ashes whitening o te tau kua hipa, ana i te patai mena ka whakaarohia e ia he hui me te kaitakaro i whanau mai i Awherika ki te Tonga, ka kii atu ia: 'Kare au e mohio he aha taku korero ki tera kia pono. Ehara i te mea kei mua i te hinengaro o ngā kaiwhakawhiwhi i tēnei wā. He rōpū kaitākaro kei te mahi tahi mātou, e whai ana ki te whakapakari i te kapa o Ingarangi. 'Kāore he mea kua huri mai i te tau kua hipa.' Ko te tumuaki o te ECB o muri mai a Colin Graves i timata i nga tumanako a Pietersen mo te hokinga mai i te rua wiki ki muri i tana whakaaro kia purei ia i te kirikiti a te rohe mena he pono tana mahi mo Ingarangi ano. I tukuna e te ECB he korero i muri mai i taua ra ki te whakamarama i nga korero a Graves e kii ana "kaore he mea i rereke" mo te heke mai o Pietersen i Ingarangi. I whakawāteatia a Ingarangi i te whakataetae o te Ao i te wāhanga rōpū i muri i te hinganga ki a Bangladesh. Ko te kaitakaro whutupaoro i whanau mai i Awherika ki te Tonga i werohia e Ingarangi i muri i te 2014 Ashes whitewash. E kii ana a Paul Downtown 'kaore he mea kua huri' Kua miharo tonu a Pietersen ki a Graves, a i te ata o te Turei i tautoko i te kaipakihi 67-tau-tau ki te whakarereke i nga whakarereketanga hei whakaora i a Ingarangi i muri i te wehenga wawe o te Ipu o te Ao. I kōrero a Pietersen mō te whakangahau tata nei i roto i te kaupapa here a te ECB hei tuku i ngā kaitākaro kia wātea...
