Kumar Sangakkara joined in the long standing debate of whether Kevin Pietersen should play for England again or not.
He tweeted, “I don’t trust @KP24 enough for him to play for England but I trust him enough to advise me on ODI cricket” #strausslogic. What Andrew Strauss the newly appointed England Director of Cricket had hours earlier told, in typical way only Sangakkara knows best.

Kevin Pietersen cracked a masterclass triple century (355*) which ended around the time Strauss’ media conference, including 36 fours and 15 sixes in the ongoing Division II county match against Leicestershire.
Sangakkara was in awe of the inning, tweeting that it was “One of the best I have seen.”
A special inning from a very special player @KP24 326. Masterclass. One of the best I have seen
