Michael Vaughan wants ECB to explain reasons that led to Pietersen`s axing

Zee Media Bureau/ Suyash Srivastava

New Delhi: Former England skipper Michael Vaughan is clearly upset with Kevin Pietersen`s sudden axing from the England squad and has demanded the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to explain reasons that led to the right-hander`s ousting.

Minutes after ECB confirmed the news by issuing a statement on Twitter, Vaughan expressed his views through his official account on the micro-blogging site.

Since ECB didn`t come up with a specific reason why Pietersen was dropped ahead of the ICC World T20, Vaughan asked the board to explain specific reasons which made them reach the decision.

While the answers are still to be known, England will for sure go through a transition phase as they won`t have their champion off-spinner Graeme Swann, nor the maverick right-hander in their squad from the next series onwards.
