The ECB have left Kevin Pietersen out of World Cup Twenty20 squad and while understandable it's a sad day for cricket.
"Both sides are at fault - the bottom line is Kevin Pietersen is not playing international cricket, which is a tragedy."
These are the words of legendary former Australian bowler Shane Warne on learning Kevin Pietersen will not be part of the England squad travelling to Sri Lanka for the Twenty20 World Cup in September.
Undoubtedly the word tragedy is overstating the situation. The defending champions England will still travel to Sri Lanka with the loud and raucous Barmy Army trailing behind them, tooting their horns. There is no tragedy involved but Warne is right that the whole situation is regrettable, and very sad.
Although Warne is a good friend of Pietersen, even he couldn’t defend the recent actions of the South African born player. Sending abusive texts about your captain - Andrew Strauss - is already scandalous but to send them to the opponents during a crucial Test series is unforgiveable.
Especially if many already see you as a South African in England clothing.
However, Kevin Pietersen fell out with England selectors before the infamous text messages were sent.
