No KP in England's T20 World Cup squad

If Kevin Pietersen had any hope of representing England ever again, I suppose it was just dealt the final blow. The England squad for the T20 World Cup was announced today and, perhaps not surprising after captain Eoin Morgan's comments a couple of days ago saying that he won't be considered, but his omission will once again question the ECB's tactics and approach ahead of a world cup.

There is no doubt that KP is not only still one of the world's best batsmen, especially in the shorter format of the game, but also highly respected by many opponents who in mind mind would much rather play against an England side without him than not.

Perhaps it's also surprising that Luke Wright and Stuart Broad haven't been included neither. It prompts the question, "why was Broad even considered for the ODI series in South Africa?" If England are looking at the future, why did they not send someone else out there. Interesting as ever.
