ECB is not blameless

In his column for the Telegraph, Geoffrey Boycott writes with utmost clarity that the ECB should not try to take the moral high ground in the ongoing Kevin Pietersen saga, which has gone to new levels after the release of his autobiography

In his column for the Telegraph, Geoffrey Boycott writes with utmost clarity that the ECB should not try to take the moral high ground in the ongoing Kevin Pietersen saga, which has gone to new levels after the release of his autobiography. Boycott says the ECB and Andy Flower should have handled the player and the situation better.
Yes Kevin was awkward, difficult, different and at times his own worst enemy. But his record and his performances do not deserve a character assassination. The ECB should be dignified about it all and not try to belittle him.
I hope the ECB is investigating how one of its confidential documents reached the public domain. If it discovers someone within the ECB leaked it then they should get the sack. If nobody is sacked then we can only assume that the ECB was happy or even complicit with the document being leaked in order to denigrate Kevin.
