KP may return England if ECB chief quits; Says KP

England cricket player KP (Kevin Pietersen) has said he could yet return to international duty if England Cricket Board chairman Giles Clarke quits his post. It is hard to imagine the circumstances in which KP might make an international return - not least because he did not play County Championship cricket for Surrey last season. It was Clarke who oversaw an uncomfortable press conference alongside Pietersen in Colombo in 2012 where he star batsman was formally reintegrated into the England team. That followed a three-month banishment after Pietersen sent text messages critical of then England captain Andrew Strauss to opposition South Africa players during a home series with the Proteas. "Giles pulls a lot of strings. In terms of cricket, I believe Andy Flower pulls a lot of strings too," Pietersen told the Standard.
