Sydney: Exiled batsman Kevin Pietersen says he is still in the dark as to why England dumped him and remains determined to force his way back into the team. The controversial 34-year-old was dropped last February and subsequently released an autobiography in a blaze of publicity claiming the England dressing room had been beset by a bullying culture.

"I was sacked... I don't know why I'm not playing for England. I haven't got a clue," he told former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting, now a commentator, in a wide-ranging interview during an Australian Big Bash League broadcast on Tuesday night.
