Kevin Pietersen for IPL? (LINK)
May 17th 2008 20:54
According to news reports, Kevin Pietersen has been approached by one of the Indian franchisees for a three year contract, for a whopping sum of $4million! Apparently, the news reports have mentioned the franchisees to be one of the business families of India, which could be an allusion to the Reliance group.
The Reliance Group currently owns the Mumbai Indians team, and has Sachin Tendulkar as its captain.
The ECB would, in all probabilities, have to step down from its high moral ground of disallowing players to feature in the IPL, and make exception for some of the cricketers like Pietersen and Andrew Flintoff, grudgingly or otherwise!
Looking at the Mumbai Indians team, it is very evident that it currently lacks a youngster of the caliber of Pietersen, what with Sanath Jayasuriya, Sachin Tendulkar and Shaun Pollock, all on the wrong side of 35 by the time the next IPL is around.
