THE ASHES

[Deep Dey]

KP battling a serious injury

"If I'd had surgery I'd have been out for nine months," Pietersen said. "It was a big decision. My knee was a shambles. I could have had surgery but the Ashes means too much.

"Everyone wants to play in the Ashes. Everyone who has ever played cricket wants to play in the Ashes. It's the big stage.

"I like to perform on the big stage when the team need me. I like to stand up and be counted. As an English or Australian player your career is defined in how you play in Ashes cricket.

"I think I'll be in rehab for the rest of my career with my knee. I still get pain sometimes. I have sore calves; I have sore hamstrings. I'm an old man. But I should be OK if I keep being as professional [with rehab] as I have been over the last three-and-a-half-months."
