Pietersen was sacked as England captain by the ECB following the 2013-2014 Ashes defeat , but has set his heart on pushing for a return to the national fold in time for this summer 's rematch . And in the wake of a hugely disappointing World Cup campaign , it is widely thought that England are in need of a shakeup . The 34-year-old signed for Surrey on Wednesday to that end - and after indications from new ECB chairman Colin Graves that he may yet be considered again for selection , he is hoping a welter of county championship runs over the next two months could press his claims .
