Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen recently took to X to express his concerns about the declining quality of batting techniques in Test cricket. Pietersen highlighted the shift in focus towards aggressive, boundary-centric play, which he believes has led to a deterioration in traditional batting skills.
"No one should be surprised by the lack of batting application and technique in Test Match cricket.

When it comes to playing spin, the only way, spend time playing against it for hours and hours and hours. There`s no quick remedy!" Pietersen tweeted.
