Pietersen axed because team needs to 'trust each other' - chairman - 02-09-2014
LONDON (Reuters) - Kevin Pietersen's international career was ended because captain Alastair Cook needed to be able to trust and rely on the support of all his players, said the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).
The controversial batsman's England career was ended earlier this month when he was left out of the squad for the upcoming World Twenty20 in Bangladesh and the preceding tour of the West Indies.
"The England team needs to rebuild after the whitewash in Australia," the ECB said in a statement on Sunday.
"To do that we must invest in our captain Alastair Cook and we must support him in creating a culture in which we can be confident he will have the full support of all players, with everyone pulling in the same direction and able to trust each other.

Andrew Strauss says the smoking gun, such as it is, is that there was no trust. Are these players marrying each other?

This weakness and insecurity is catching.
You had Gibson surrounding himself with mediocrity and it appears Cook could not deal with Pietersen . However should anyone have to deal with this intolerable and incessant behaviour?

Cook wants the team to pull together ... most likely towards deep fine leg
