Steve Waugh, the former Australian captain said Kevin Pietersen has always been a controversial cricketer. While attending the Salaam Cricket conclave, organised by “Aaj Tak”, he was asked to comment on Pietersen controversial book. In reply Waugh said, “He has sold some books, it would have been boring otherwise (smiles). He is a high-maintenance cricketer who should have been dealt with differently. Over the past few weeks the players have supported the captain instead of KP, so that should tell the same story.”

The conclave – named ‘Kaise Jeetenge World Cup’ – is attended by the likes of , Kapil Dev, Allan Border, Imran Khan, Steve Waugh, Ricky Ponting, Arjuna Ranatunga, who are among the captains who led their teams to World Cup wins. Among the other skippers will be Sunil Gavaskar, Sourav Ganguly, Ajay Jadeja, Mohammad Azharuddin, Bishan Singh Bedi, Inzamam-ul-Haq, and Aamer Sohail. Indian cricketers, who were also part of their last World Cup winning campaign back in 2011, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Piyush Chawla, and Ashish Nehra will also be a part of the function.
