Pietersen has many admirers, with David Cameron being the most recent one to show his support. In an interview with BBC Radio Lancashire, Cameron said: “I am an enormous fan of Kevin Pietersen and I have had some of my most enjoyable times watching him tonking the ball all over the park.”

“His average (47.28 in Tests) is remarkable. It is not often I have sympathy for Piers Morgan but I thought he was making quite a powerful argument this morning on my radio.

“But I will let the England selectors pick the England team, I think I had better stay out of this one,” he added.

The ECB stated that they needed “to rebuild not only the team but also the team ethic and philosophy” after a nightmare tour Down Under, where they managed to win only 1 ODI match and were beaten 5-0 in the Ashes.
