Well well, Kevin Pietersen’s summer just got worse:

Rather stupid of him – a bit of controversy he could do well without currently – and exactly why England management doesn’t like England players using social media.

But I think he has a point though.

Why would England drop him from the Twenty20 squad? Pietersen was Man of the Tournament of the last World T20 and the upcoming Twenty20′s looked like the perfect games for him to rebuild some of his shattered confidence.

Perhaps Andy Flower is looking to repeat the same trick that worked with Matt Prior – who got dropped from the one-day teams and responded in Tests. If he is, I think Flower got it wrong this time and it will just leave Pietersen in a deeper hole.

Whatever the reasoning behind dropping him, Pietersen doesn’t believe it will do him good and the decision has backfired on England management already.
