Breaking News: Pietersen resigns
Cricinfo - Pietersen resigns as England captain
According to reports on Sky News, Kevin Pietersen has resigned as England captain, following the ECB's emergency board meeting that took place on Tuesday evening to discuss the rift between Kevin Pietersen and Peter Moores.
Cricinfo understands that the 12-man board met by teleconference on Tuesday night, raising the possibility that Pietersen, who had not been due back from his holiday in Africa until Thursday, would pay the price for his outspoken views on the future direction of the England team.
Now, however, it appears that Pietersen has taken his future into his own hands, and handed back the role he took on from Michael Vaughan barely five months ago.
