Shane Warne: Common sense must prevail in Pietersen affair

Former Australian Test cricketer and now pundit Shane Warne has said that calling Kevin Pietersen back up would be "common sense". He told Sky Sports news:

Let's hope common sense prevails...

He [Pietersen] is England's best batsman, he's one of the most dynamic players in world cricket.

Both parties have to earn the respect back. I think the players have to earn Kevin Pietersen's respect back with the way some of them have conducted themselves and I think the way Kevin Pietersen has conducted himself I think he has to earn the respect of the players too....

I'm sure it will all be fine and I'm sure Pietersen will be named in the squad tomorrow.
