KP keen to tour NZ

Last Updated 21 September 2012, 17:05 IST

Ignored for the tour of India, controversial batsman Kevin Pietersen expects to be picked for England’s next assignment in New Zealand even as former captain Andrew Strauss confirmed receiving an apology from him for the infamous text messages episode.

“Hoping all is sorted & I’m on the New Zealand tour in February,” the 32-year-old Pietersen tweeted on Friday.

Meanwhile, the recently-retired Strauss said he has had a chat with Pietersen to clarify issues.

“We had a good chat and he apologised to me, which was great,” Strauss, who retired from all forms of cricket last month, told ‘BBC Radio 5’.

“It was good that we spoke and got a few things out in the open. We’ve always been good friends. I will have no problems meeting up with Kevin and having a beer with him, definitely.”
