Kevin Pietersen back in captain's uniform?

Guyana (West Indies), Mar 18: Just 10 weeks after he was axed Kevin Pietersen is again in line for a dramatic recall as England captain.

According to The Sun, he could lead the side in Friday's one-dayer against West Indies here if Andrew Strauss does not recover from a hamstring strain. Paul Collingwood, who quit as England one-day captain last year, would be the other candidate.

The selectors might want to give the job back to Pietersen on a one-off basis to try to show there are no hard feelings.

Whoever leads England on Friday will have the chance to end the grim sequence of 14 major matches without a victory.

Essex batsman Alastair Cook was Strauss' deputy for the Test series but is not around for the one-day games.

Strauss' right hamstring was strapped on Tuesday, Mar 17 and he did not take a full part in a fitness session
