Former captain Kevin Pietersen is not expecting England to reach the semi-finals at the World Twenty20 in India. England have reached the final four at the Twenty20 showcase just once and that was back in 2010 when Pietersen helped them claim the trophy in the West Indies. Despite mixed results in Twenty20 internationals of late - England lost a recent series 2-0 to South Africa - a lot is expected of Eoin Morgan's men on the sub-continent as they attempt to make up for their embarrassing early exit at the World Cup in Australia in 2015 when they failed to make the knockout stages of the 50-over tournament after losing their decider against Bangladesh. But Pietersen is unsure whether England will be able to match their exploits from 2010 and has earmarked four other countries as the teams to beat in India. Speaking in a Q&A with the Telegraph newspaper, Pietersen declared India, the West Indies, South Africa and Australia as the top four teams at the World Twenty20. He also said that Morgan would have to fire if England were to go deep into the tournament. "I think England's game changer at the World Cup has to be Eoin Morgan," Pietersen said.

The British middleweight title fight between Chris Eubank Jnr. and Nick Blackwell which left the latter fighter in an induced coma should have been stopped earlier, a leading neurosurgeon said. Blackwell, 25, collapsed in the ring after the fight was called off on Saturday because of swelling over his left eye in round 10. He was found to have a bleed on the brain and was placed in an induced coma in hospital in London where he is still heavily sedated. Surgeon Peter Hamlyn, who operated on Michael Watson when he suffered brain damage in a 1991 fight with Chris Eubank Snr., said medical procedures were followed properly but that the fight should have been stopped. "It was clearly a one-sided fight by the seventh or eighth round and it should have been stopped. He took too many uppercuts and he suffered a blitz," Hamlyn told Britain's Telegraph newspaper.

Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen has joined the chorus of players who believe tainted Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir should be banned for life for his role in the 2010 spot-fixing scandal. Amir will return at Lord's six years after he deliberately bowled no balls at the same venue during a Test in 2010. Pietersen was among the England team that played against Pakistan at that Lord's Test in August 2010 and the 36-year old believes anyone caught spot or match fixing should not be allowed to play the game again.
