LONDON: Kevin Pietersen does not think Ben Stokes should captain England if Joe Root is forced to miss a game against the West Indies because it would heap too much pressure on the all-rounder.
Pietersen, who said he"hated" the responsibility of being captain of England for a brief spell, would prefer wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler to take over. "The entertainers and the guys that have to carry the mantle in the team sometimes aren't the best captains and sometimes struggle with the extra added pressure."Pietersen said the captaincy changed how players were viewed in the dressing room.
England begin their summer of cricket, which has been badly affected by the coronavirus pandemic, on Jul 8 with the first Test against the West Indies.
