Amid the fresh controversy involving two national team players, former England batter Kevin Pietersen shares a meaningful post on ‘X’ on the morning of June 9. Again, Pietersen hints about a possible move that can affect the Three Lions in the near future.
They visited the nightclub after their win against New Zealand in the 1st Test of the ongoing series at Lord’s. The win came with a huge relief to the home nation, after their disappointing performance in the Ashes 2025-26, where they lost against their arch-rival Australia by 1-4.
Kevin Pietersen shares his thoughts on the fresh incident
“First thought on Stokes/Atkinson - they're out celebrating a Test win, so no issues! The altercation stuff, this is unknown as of now,” Kevin Pietersen mentioned.
“BUT, BUT, BUT, remember my tweet last week about the knives being out,” Pietersen added.

“The knives being out” is a reference to another post Kevin Pietersen shared a few days ago on ‘X’. Pitersen strongly believes that after all the setbacks and a series of controversies, the head coach of England, Brendon McCullum, will leave the team to join the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). If Kevin Pietersen’s prediction proves true, then Brendon McCullum could replace Abhishek Nayar as the head coach of KKR.
Just seen clips of Baz McCullum interview and also some UK journalists comments after it. The knives are out in a BIG WAY! Ive watched this movie before. Poor summer results and Baz will coach KKR next IPL season.

During the Ashes, the English cricketers were accused of drinking heavily in the middle of the series. Later, team director Rob Key declared an investigation into the allegations.
After the Ashes defeat, it was widely reported that Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum were not on the same page. McCullum’s job was also at risk. But somehow, after meetings with the board officials, the former New Zealand opener remains in the position.
