Kevin Pietersen has insisted that his focus remains on scoring runs for Surrey after marking his return to domestic cricket by scoring 170 on Sunday.
The 34-year-old, who pulled out of the Indian Premier League in a bid to revive his England career, warmed up for the new County Championship season with a superb 149-ball innings against Oxford MCCU, but he is hopeful that there is a lot more to come over the next few months.
"I've just got to get my head down and bat," Pietersen told Surrey's YouTube channel after the visitors declared on 420-7. "That's all I want to do. You know what? If it leads to an England recall then absolutely fantastic.
"Everybody knows how hard I work. There's no substitute for hard work. I put the hard yards in this week and this is only just the start. I want to try to keep building on this and keep scoring runs.
"I just want a big summer of batting, a big summer of hopefully scoring a lot of runs."
Surrey's final pre-season game with Oxford is followed by their opening County Championship game against Glamorgan, which begins next Sunday.
