Star batsman Kevin Pietersen insists he is not worried about his recent poor form for England.
Pietersen, who burst onto the international scene with a flurry of big scores in 2005, has failed to pass 50 in his last 17 one-day international innings for England, the last being back in November 2008 when he scored 111 not out as captain against India in Cuttack.
That has prompted some within in the game, including former England batsman Graham Thorpe, to question the long-term future of the South-African born star's place in the side.
Pietersen, who was upstaged by man of the series Eoin Morgan in England's 3-2 win over Australia, was left out of the squad which beat Bangladesh 2-1 recently in order to rest and recover from a minor thigh injury.
The 30-year-old, who recently became a father for the first time, has enjoyed spending time with his family over the last 10 days, and has shrugged off suggestions that he will not be able to bounce back from his recent poor performances for his country.
He said: "I'm not worried about my form. It happens to every single player. It's difficult when you play all three forms of the game to just keep on going and going and going.
"I don't know if there's a big score for me around the corner. If it happens it happens. I'm not too fussed. I'm not losing any sleep over it .
"This rest has come at a really good time to try and get myself sorted.
"I have absolutely loved the time off. I have a brand new child at home and spending time with him has been priceless.
"The injury is fine. There's no problem with that whatsoever. I will be fit and raring to go for the Pakistan series."
