Kevin Pietersen: England return untenable - Adam Hollioake

England's one-day side are in "defensive mode" but Kevin Pietersen's return would be "untenable", says former captain Adam Hollioake.

England are struggling to qualify for the World Cup quarter-finals after losing three of their four group games.

Pietersen said he would "work" on a return after incoming England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chairman Colin Graves refused to rule out a recall.

"It would be too distracting to have him back in the side," said Hollioake.
