«Breaking Pic News» Cook admits his handling of Pietersen's saga is his biggest regret

Alastair Cook singled out the fallout from Kevin Pietersen's sacking as the standout regret of his time with England.

The England opener will call time on his record-breaking career following the final game of the series with India at The Oval.

Cook held a press conference on Wednesday, where he admitted the saga around Pietersen's departure in 2014 could have been handled differently.

'I have regret over it because it wasn't great for English cricket, the whole fallout of it,' he said

'The moment Andrew Strauss came on board and he said he made the decision, I think for me personally that was the best thing that could have happened.

'I have regret over it because it wasn't great for English cricket, the whole fallout of it,' he said. 

'The end of the Sri Lanka series (in 2014) and the second game at Lords (when India won by 95 runs), that period there was the lowest I was.'

Pietersen's England career came to an end following the disastrous 2013/14 Ashes in Australia

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
