We won8217;t return to India unless security guaranteed: KP

Pietersen said the safety of the players cannot be compromised and even though he is the captain he has no power to force any of his team-mates to return to India.

8220;We need to make sure the security8217;s right 8212; but if it8217;s not safe then we won8217;t be coming back,8221; he said. 8220;People are their own people, I8217;ll never force anyone to do anything or tell them to do anything against their will. On the field I may ask people to do things in a certain way but people run their own lives. We8217;ll have to see how the security is,8221; Pietersen told 8216;Sky Sports8217;.

England Professional Cricketers8217; Association Chief Executive Sean Morris said the team management will take advice from security officer Reg Dickason.

8220;They will look at it in the cold light of day and ask, is it safe to return or not?8221; said Morris.

8220;They will go with that advice assuming the situation in India does not deteriorate further. The players have full faith in Dickason and will be guided by him.8221;
