Pietersen wants to play until 2016

England batsman Kevin Pietersen says he wants to play for his country until at least the 2015-16 tour of South Africa. Pietersen, 33, will play his 100th Test in the Ashes opener against Australia, starting on Thursday in Brisbane. A recurring knee injury had prompted speculation that he might retire at the end of the series, but he has set his sights on the 2015 World Cup, another home Ashes campaign, and beyond. "As long as the body goes well, I'm good for it," Pietersen told B Sport. Pietersen made his international debut in 2004, has starred in four Ashes series victories and helped England win the World Twenty20 in 2010.
