Six months on from his resignation as England captain, Kevin Pietersen believes that the England dressing-room is a much healthier place for the blood-letting that took place during his spectacular falling-out with the former coach, Peter Moores. As a consequence he is quietly optimistic about the team's hopes of regaining the Ashes in the coming series against Australia.
Back in January, Pietersen was forced to resign from a role he had held for barely five months, after details of a confidential email to the ECB was leaked to the media, in which he called for the removal of Moores as head coach, as well as a root-and-branch reform of England's team management structure. For a time the atmosphere within the squad was poisonous, as evidenced by their spectacular collapse to 51 all out in the decisive first Test against West Indies in Kingston one month later.
