Cricket: Relaxed Kevin aims to cash in.

CAPTAIN Kevin Pietersen thinks the Caribbean is the perfect setting for England's EUR20m contest tonight.

The 20-over match against a Stanford Superstars side, worth EUR1m a man to the winning team, could come down to a skied catch or a run-out opportunity.

But Pietersen, who yesterday had to tell James Anderson his proud run of 13 months in the team was coming to an abrupt halt, insisted the relaxed atmosphere allows his team to switch off rather than be hounded by the prospect.

"When you get back from training you have lunch and jump in the pool," Pietersen said.

"The boys go out on a catamaran or swim in the sea - you don't drive past 20 corner shops on the way home and see the Evening Standard or the Sun with a huge headline, or the Mirror or the Mail.

"At the moment, in terms of pressure, I don't actually feel anything - I try my hardest not to in big circumstances and I have my ways and means of getting rid of it."

Anderson will have to overcome a very different emotion after being left out to accommodate Graeme Swann as a second spinner in Sir Allen Stanford's groundbreaking match.

The 26-year-old, who was last overlooked 28 limited-overs games ago for a Twenty20 contest against Australia in September 2007, is the only change from the XI that wrapped up a comprehensive 4-0 victory over South Africa in the NatWest Series in the summer.

The effectiveness of the slow bowlers on the Coolidge surface earlier in the week persuaded England's management to draft in Swann.

Durham duo Steve Harmison and Paul Collingwood are both in the England side.
