Pietersen warns England may not return
Nov 28 2008
Kevin Pietersen has warned that England players will not return to India if their safety cannot be guaranteed.
The tourists fly to Bangalore on Friday to meet up with the Performance Programme squad before returning to London while talks continue between the England and Wales Cricket Board and the Board of Control for Cricket in India about the resumption of the tour.
Doubts persist about whether England will return for the Test series following the terror attacks in Mumbai, and Pietersen told BBC Radio Five Live: "We need to make sure the security's right - but if it's not safe then we won't be coming back."
He added: "People are their own people, I'll never force anyone to do anything or tell them to do anything against their will.
"On the field I may ask people to do things in a certain way but people run their own lives.
"We'll have to see how the security is."
