Fresh from the recent Ashes triumph, Kevin Pietersen is now looking at victory in the ICC Cricket World Cup as the perfect way to cap off a remarkable year for English cricket. The impressive year began with victory in the ICC World Twenty20 in May, where England defeated Australia by seven wickets and Pietersen was named player of the tournament.
England then went on to earn Test series wins against Pakistan and Bangladesh in the summer before claiming a resounding 3-1 series win against Australia in which they retained the Ashes.
England head into the World Cup, which is being jointly held by India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, on the back of a disappointing one-day series against Australia which they lost 6-1, but Pietersen believes they will be back on track in time for the World Cup.
"We're going to a World Cup and World Cups are incredibile events. We've had an incredible 12 months and winning would cap off the most remarkable 12 months in English cricket history," said the 30-year-old.
