Former England and Surrey batsman Mark Butcher (speaking on behalf of espncricinfo.com) gives us his thoughts on the Kevin Pietersen situation. He was speaking prior to the ECB and Kevin Pietersen press conference where it was announced that Pietersen has been made available for selection once again.

He tells us whether he thinks the interest surrounding one of England's best players will have affected the squad in Sri Lanka and then whether he feels Pietersen should return to England colours.
