Kevin Pietersen has admitted that he may never reach the heights he did previously as an international batsman.

The England player is hoping to make the most of his brief stint with South African side the Dolphins ahead of the Ashes in Australia and is desperate to get back to form after a miserable summer.

"I am out here now to try and put things right, to spend some time in the middle and work a lot harder than I have worked before so that I am in the best nick possible come the Ashes tour," he said.

But there's a 'but'. 'Shiv Chanderpaul has been fantastic but one thing disappoints me about him,' says Pietersen. 'Every time he gets runs he never fields. There's always an injury or something. That has really got on my nerves here. It leads me to think he plays for himself.'
