How spin doctor could have cured Brook's 'big flaw'

Pietersen gutted he missed mentoring England superstar

- By Mike Walters

KEVIN PIETERSEN has told Harry Brook he missed the chance to fix a “big flaw” when he pulled out of his £550,000 Indian Premier League deal.

The former England captain and box-office batsman, now a batting consultant at Delhi Capitals, admits he was “bitterly disappointed” when Brook jilted the franchise to focus on his international commitments — and told him so.

But Pietersen, who unfurled some of England’s greatest innings in Test and one-day cricket, still regards Yorkshire’s rising star as a supreme talent.
