Kevin Pietersen, 30-year-old batsman/all rounder

Pieterson is a South-African born English cricketer.

He is a right-handed batsman and an occasional off-spin bowler.

He has played in an impressive 66 Test matches.

The 6ft 5in batsman is a world-beater, he remains without a Test hundred since Trinidad in March last year.

He had an achilles injury which interrupted his 2009 ashes.

KP captained Indian Premier League team, Royal Challengers Bangalore in the second season of the IPL.

He was the captain of the England Test and One Day International teams from the 4th August 2008 until January 7th 2009.

The question is can he reach the heights he achieved before his injury?
