Paul Downton was responsible for axing Kevin Pietersen from the England team.

Downton's 15 months in charge came to be defined by his controversial decision to end the international career of star batsman Pietersen.

Paul Downton had replaced Hugh Morris in October 2013, shortly before the Ashes whitewash in Australia.

England have one more group game against Afghanistan but victory will not prevent a third group-stage exit.

The ECB has reached out to the Scotland Yard to track down the person who is blackmailing.

Downton also claimed he was unable to find a single person who wanted the batsman to stay.

Despite of the introduction of many safety gears, players still suffer career-threatening injuries.

Pietersen’s sudden axing has flummoxed all and angered many. What does his departure mean to cricket?

After weeks of speculation, Kevin Pietersen was axed from the England team.

The axing of Pietersen ought to be one of the most ridiculous decisions taken by a cricket board.

Colin Milburn, MAK Pataudi, Lawrence Rowe and others in the list.

Pietersen has regaled the cricketing world with an approach that can only be categorised as inimitable.
