Pietersen’s comments about training came during a tour of India when England lost a 4-1 T20 1-day T20 series 3-0, and talking to The Telegraph earlier this month, he said, “I’m with all the words.”
Without specifically referring to Pietersen, Wood said, “One thing that bothers me is this narrative of” Golf, Golf, Golf. “
“I don’t play golf. I don’t like it. It’s not a game for me. I know the boys enjoy and that’s your rest time. Sometimes it’s as if golf is more important, and that’s not true at all.
“I can’t underline enough that when we are training, especially under Stokes and Brendon McCult, we adjoining strongly.
“The boys do not take it for granted that we play for England. This narrative of” Oh, well, we will play golf, this is the best concert in the world, “I can understand the frustration of people with him, but I tell you, people really care and work hard.
“I’m there to win by England. That’s what makes me feel uncomfortable, this narrative that doesn’t care. It hurts when we get. The dating that comes from the team sometimes, we can definitely improve that, because it’s not about how people are really feeling.”
The wood will lose the first part of the summer after having knee surgery in March. He initially ruled out four months, Durham’s man said he still hopes to play some role in the test series against India, which ends at the end of July.
“I hope to try to play a couple of games in July to Durham, then get me ahead for England things, but it’s a long way to look,” he said.
“A rehabilitation road is never an upward curve, there are blows in it. I am still looking for a test or two at the end of that India series if I can put my body in a good place. At the moment you are quite far to give a final answer.”
England begins the native summer with a single test against Zimbabwe in late May. A team will be appointed on Friday, with the Seamer Samer Sam Cook without a snake that is expected to be included.
