Kevin Pietersen Returns as England White-Ball Mentor

Kevin Pietersen has been appointed as England's specialist white-ball mentor, marking the end of his decade-long estrangement from the ECB. The former England batter will join Brendon McCullum's coaching setup ahead of the upcoming ODI World Cup. This surprise return sees the South African-born cricketer back in the English cricket fold after their highly publicized fallout in 2014. The appointment is expected to bolster England's white-ball preparations with Pietersen's extensive international experience.
