gooch , the former england captain who also worked as the national side 's batting coach until last year , went as far as saying pietersen had ` wiped the floor with the ecb ' in the lengthy pr battle since his sacking in 2014 .
the 34-year-old pietersen wants to end his england absence that started after the 2013-14 ashes whitewash .
but pietersen appeared to take exception to gooch 's suggestion that a test series victory in the west indies this month would take the 34-year-old 's name off the agenda .
