- The former Indian coach Ravi Shastri had claimed that England only had a net session
- Jos Buttler denied the suggestions after the defeat of 142 races by India
Kevin Pietersen has attacked the lack of training and preparation of England after they suffered another great loss against India.
Jos Buttler's team was beaten by 142 races in the third and last international one day on Wednesday, since India won the 3-0 series. It was the seventh defeat of England of his eight limited games on the trip.
England has faced accusations of lack of professionalism during the tour, with the former coach of India, Ravi Shastri, saying that he had heard 'England has only had a net session on this full trip, if it is not any. If you are not prepared to make the hard courts, you will not improve.
The former star of England, Pietersen, added fuel to the accusations, since she said that only Joe Root had practiced in the networks since the loss of four wickt in the first ODI in Nagpur last week.
In a publication about X, Pietersen said it was “absolutely attacking that England did not have a team's practice session since he lost the 1st Odi and lost the T20 series.”
He added: 'How can this be? Seriously, how? I think Joe Root was the only player who had a network of this series, Post Nagpur.

'There is not a single athlete on this planet that can say honestly, which would improve without practicing while they are being beaten.
'Nor can there be a player on that side of England who can sit on the plane that leaves India and tells themselves, they did everything possible to try help to England to win. And that's why I am really incredibly sad tonight.
'Losing is fine if he is doing the best to improve every day and if England did not train during this series, then they did not try. Heartbreaking for any England fan!
Buttler had previously responded to Shastri's comments. 'I'm not sure it's quite true. We have had a reasonably long tour, some long days of travel, there have been a couple of times that we have not trained, but we have certainly trained a lot on the tour.
'Obviously we try to create a really good environment, but we don't confuse that with a lazy environment or a lack of effort. The boys are desperate to perform, do it well and improve.
The agitated programming of Eight International Black Ball in 20 days, in Zigzagging throughout India in the middle, has limited the practice sessions of both teams. Rohit Sharma's number one side surpassed his opponents with one.
But when Kuldeep Yadav finished the first tickets of England by Tom Banton for more than three years for a high joint score, they fell into another implosion induced by the turn.
Pietersen, Shastri co-commentator for Wednesday's clash, intervened saying: 'Yesterday I was in the golf course. I wasn't hitting, and where have the problems come? The beginning: one for 60, two for 80. And then, what happens? None of them can play by turning. And how do they improve playing?
