Kevin Pietersen could be in line for a recall to the England side for the tour of India following formal and ongoing talks with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).
According to coach Andy Flower an announcement is likely to be made within the next 36 hours, and on top of that Pietersen is likely to be offered an ECB central contract.
Two words popped into my head when I heard this news: “At last”
Pietersen has been absent from the national side after it was revealed he sent ‘provocative’ text messages during the series against South Africa back in August.
Since then this whole saga has dragged on for far too long, it should really have been solved within days or within the month, so the fact that it has carried on and on until now is ridiculous.
All it would have taken was for Pietersen and a few members of the ECB to meet up and spend a few hours talking about the issues that got them there in the first place and then talk about the ways to resolve them, simple as.
But anyway, when this announcement comes hopefully it will mean that Pietersen is back in the side doing what he does best playing cricket for England, because looking at how we’ve done during his absence we desperately need him back, simple as.
