Kevin Pietersen is no longer England captain following the public row between him and coach Peter Moores, who is also leaving his role.
It's not yet known whether they have resigned or been sacked.
England leave for their tour of the West Indies in 2 weeks.

Heard on radio this morning there is a good chance they both got sacked. What was the row about?

Heard on radio this morning there is a good chance they both got sacked. What was the row about? I think they just had a poor working relationship from the start and there were disagreements over how involved Moores should be. Pietersen apparently told the ECB he would quit if they didn't sack Moores. It seems as though they weren't happy with the ultimatum and let Pietersen quit, and have then possibly sacked Moores anyway. |

Is that the shortest captaincy?

Its a shame, Pietersen is a very good player and has the right mind set to captain a top class team.
Rumours on new captain are?

Strauss will probably captain the test side against the West Indies, though he's not in the one day side so they'll have another decision to make there.

Is that the shortest captaincy? How about Chris Cowdrey? |
