Cricket hospitality: Kevin Pietersen pleased with improved form

England v Bangladesh
cricket hospitality guests may get to see a fully-fit and in-form Kevin Pietersen this summer.
Pietersen missed much of last summer's Ashes triumph because of an Achilles injury and struggled for form in the drawn Test series in South Africa.
He also looked out of sorts in the one-day series in Bangladesh, but hit a quick-fire 99 in the comfortable first Test victory last week.
The 29-year-old said it felt good to finally record a big score after recovering from what he regarded as a career-threatening injury.
"It's taken a little bit longer than I'd have liked, but I feel great now which is fantastic," he said.
Pietersen will have a chance to build on his first Test display when the final Test gets underway in Mirpur this weekend. He will then return home to face the same opposition in another Test series.
Corporate hospitality guests will be able to watch the England v Bangladesh games at Lord's in May and Old Trafford in June.
