When the English cricket team, led by Stuart Broad, arrived in the West Indies in the third week of February, 2014, the players were scared to look back over their shoulders. The events of recent cricket history were too haunting for most of them. As if the recent humiliating Australian experience was not enough, the English selectors singled out Kevin Pietersen for poor performance. But everyone knew that the reasons for dumping Pietersen were not related to cricket alone. The selectors have not been happy with the big man and his larger-than-life maverick image and the failure in Australia handed them a great chance to cut Pietersen to size.
