'I didn't mislead Pietersen'

New England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves says he did not mislead Kevin Pietersen over a potential recall to the England side.

Graves insists he "did not make any promises" to the 34-year-old.He added in a statement: "Kevin was told on Monday and I completely support the decision that was taken. He may not have liked what he heard but it allowed him to look at his opportunities.

“Despite everything, he can work with us to rebuild the relationship and make a further contribution to English cricket. It was important he knew where he stood."
