Kevin Pietersen deserves England call - Vaughan

England should recall Kevin Pietersen for the forthcoming World Twenty20, according to Michael Vaughan.

Pietersen was the third-highest run-scorer in the recent Big Bash competition in Australia, scoring more half-centuries (four) than anyone else.

"Can a handshake take place, a mature conversation?" said Vaughan.


England should pick Pietersen - Vaughan
"Or has he burnt so many bridges a new set of management couldn't handle him over a three-week period? He could be the X-Factor."

England will take part in the World Twenty20 in India between 8 March and 3 April.

I'm getting kind of sick of this debate now to be honest. Should England recall Pietersen back into the England squad? Well yes, based on performance and if the selectors are picking players based on that and ability, then he should be on the team sheet.

Will they though? Probably not and I have a feeling if somebody said pick Pietersen and you'll win the tournament gaurenteed, they'd still not want to see him playing for England ever again.
