Pietersen apologises to the ECB
Kevin Pietersen has apologised to the England Cricket Board over the derogatory text messages that he sent about members of the England dressing room to South Africa players in a last-ditch attempt to gain forgiveness and be selected for World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka.Pietersen and his representatives were waiting for the England Cricket Board to respond to his gesture with Saturday’s deadline for naming England’s World Twenty20 party looming ever closer.The apology presumably constituted an admission of guilt and as such leaves him at risk of a heavy fine, a suspension or both.
