KP resigns AS a new captain come in

Yesterday, big-hitting Kevin Pietersen resigned as England captain as news came out that he had fallen out with Peter Moores and some of his fellow national team-mates. He called the media tabloids 'unfortunate' as he explained his important decision and that 'he couldn't carry on as captain'. This left the ECB a tricky and crucial decision to make, but they made it quickly with opener Andrew Strauss collecting the baton. He seems the right (and only) man for the job, with England flying out to the Carribean for a test series. Strauss is experienced and has captained England before so he knows what he has to do.

But the quest is on to find a new coach, as Peter Moores was also stripped of his role and with England travelling to the West Indies on the 21st of January they need to act fast. But the captain is more important so the board must be relieved that Andrew took the job.

But although Pieterson resigned as captain, he clearly made it known that he wishes to be part of the team which will eventually come back to England to host the Ashes tour. He is a great batsmen and has a lot to offer the national side, with big hitting and stylish shots both in his range. We will have to wait and see if Strauss will be indeed the man to carry Enlgand's hopes but we can be sure he will have the backing of the team and the board. Good luck to him.
