England batsman Kevin Pietersen yesterday said his team would not have retained the Ashes had he not been in the forefront of a campaign to remove former coach Peter Moores.

The star player also said that his stepping down from England captaincy that time also helped the team.
"We would not be here today if I had not done what I did then.
There was no way in this world we would have continued under that regime and won the Ashes again in Australia," Pietersen was quoted as saying by The Daily Telegraph.
The ECB reacted strongly to Pietersen's claim that Moores' coaching policy was stagnating English cricket and sacked both men and Andrew Strauss was made captain.
