England head coach Peter Moores has insisted that he and Test captain Alastair Cook are not thinking about a possible return for Kevin Pietersen.
The 34-year-old has been open about his desire to return to the England fold, more than a year after he was axed by the ECB following a failed Ashes campaign in Australia.
Incoming ECB chairman Colin Graves has left the door open for Pietersen's return, and the batsman is hoping to catch the eye of the selectors when he lines up for county side Surrey this summer.
Today, England's Test side will fly out to the Caribbean for their tour of the West Indies, and Moores has insisted that Pietersen is far from their minds.
"For me, Kevin's not on this trip, so I don't need to focus on Kevin at all," Moores said in this morning's press conference. "My focus is to support Alastair as I always would and the 16 players on this tour.
"At the end of that summer [last year] we'd gone through a tough summer, and started to play the sort of attacking cricket people like, and we like. That's our focus at the moment. From my point of view Kevin isn't on the radar. He can't be in my or Cooky's focus at all."
England's first Test against West Indies will take place on April 13 in Antigua.
