According to one of my colleagues Kevin Pietersen was “bulging” at the launch of England’s new Adidas kit at Lord’s yesterday.

“It has been India’s dream to play at the home of cricket and I feel the timing has never been better.”
Last month, MCC president Robin Marlar sparked controversy in the women’s game days after succeeding Tom Graveney.
Marlar told The Telegraph it was “absolutely outrageous” women were allowed to play mixed cricket in case they got injured. (see reaction to this here)
