cricket: Pietersen fit for 3rd Test - England v India

  • Kevin Pietersen, England's leading batsman, has been declared fit to play in the 3rd test against India starting tomorrow. The middle-order stroke-player missed training yesterday but at the pre-match press conference Michael Vaughan stated the Pietersen was ok. "He's fine. He had a virus and it was a bit more of a concern on Wednesday but he seems to have pulled through pretty well," the England skipper said. Pietersen has scored 203 in the first 2 Test Matches.
  • India have prepared for the 3rd Test with a match against the Sri Lankan 'A' team in which the Indians battled to hold on for a draw.
  • India's domestic cricket board has threatened to ban any player who signs up for the country's breakaway Twenty20 league (the ICL - Indian cricket League)
