Pietersen returns to England fold as white-ball mentor, admitting past perceptions were wrong

Kevin Pietersen has rejoined England's setup as a part-time specialist mentor to the white-ball teams, a role created by head coach Brendon McCullum.

• Pietersen revealed he will be "in and out" rather than full-time, saying he is now "a completely different person" from his playing days.
• He said his preconceptions of the England dressing room were "completely different" to the reality he has found since taking the job.
• Pietersen said he has spoken to incoming Test coach Stephen Fleming and Joe Root about helping Test batters before next summer's home Ashes series.
• He said his role may not end with the 50-over World Cup in South Africa, noting there is time before the Ashes and a tour of South Africa.
