Will KP return as England captain?
Stuart Broad's shoulder injury leaves his Twenty20 side searching for leader. Who better than an in-form Kevin Pietersen, asks Stephen Brenkley in the Independent.
It is possible that the selectors might ask Alastair Cook, the 50-over captain, to step in as a short-term measure. Although Cook is not in the T20 side because he is deemed not to have quite the appropriate qualities, it would be a valid call.
Equally, Cook has already had a long summer and may need the week off before leading the team on the sub-continent. Pietersen is more at ease with himself than for some time and is also in splendid form. Although he was a reluctant convert to T20 he has shown himself to be highly adept at it.
