article: Kevin Pietersen has lashed out at Graham Gooch for commenting on his attempted England comeback. Gooch appeared on BBC Radio Five Live on Sunday morning and took a broadly supportive stance of Pietersen, who has re-signed for Surrey in an attempt to stage an unlikely Test return. 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. Kevin Pietersen has lashed out at Graham Gooch for commenting on his attempted England comeback . Gooch (above) 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. He retweeted a BBC Online article and then posted a brief but pointed attack on Gooch, relating to his captaincy on the 1982 rebel tour of Apartheid-era South Africa. It read: 'Graham Gooch - you captained a rebel tour of SA, got banned & then returned to the England team. I don't think I've done anything as bad!' Earlier, Pietersen had suggested his first practice session of the season could be streamed live to fans. Kevin Pietersen will step up his attempts to earn an England recall when he starts batting on Monday . Pietersen (right) rejoined Surrey  after incoming ECB chairman Colin Graves said domestic form would help . Pietersen has indicated that his campaign will start with a three-day warm-up against Oxford MCCU on April 12 and he is due to return to the nets on Monday. He announced that to his 2.3 million Twitter followers and raised the prospect of using the social network's new broadcast app, Periscope, to showcase his session in real time. He wrote: 'Starting to bat tomorrow...might @periscopeco it, so all of you can watch it Live & see how I get on. Should I? £comeback'. Quite how Pietersen's '£comeback' will pan out in the long term is unclear. Incoming ECB chairman Colin Graves advised that signing for a domestic side would help Pietersen's cause . Incoming ECB chairman Colin Graves has offered just enough encouragement for him to believe he could once again wear the Three Lions - despite a year of bitter recriminations and one dazzlingly indiscreet autobiography. His decision to hit the county trail, so long a bete noire in his career, at least offers the platform for him to nudge public opinion and the selectors from close quarters. But when England flew to the West Indies on Thursday ahead of the forthcoming Test series, the messages were thoroughly mixed. Controversial batsman Pietersen and current England coach Peter Moores have a fractious relationship . Captain Alastair Cook, who was not given a glittering write-up in Pietersen's book, largely absolved himself from the decision-making process, insisting it would be taken by Graves, managing director of England cricket Paul Downton and chief executive Tom Harrison. Coach Peter Moores was less ambiguous. Moores was sacked from his first stint in charge in 2008, partially at the behest of Pietersen, whose intervention also cost him the captaincy. He was then belittled as a nagging 'woodpecker' in the batsman's memoir and reconciliation between the two men would appear a stretch. Asked at Gatwick about the situation, Moores said: 'From my point of view, Kevin isn't on the radar.' He would, therefore, seem an unlikely viewer of Pietersen's Periscope net session.
