Pietersen named England captain
Pietersen has captained England in one ODI against New Zealand
Kevin Pietersen has succeeded Michael Vaughan as England captain.
Following Vaughan's shock resignation on Sunday, the 28-year-old's appointment was confirmed by national selector Geoff Miller at Lord's.
Pietersen will captain both the Test and one-day sides and will lead England in the final Test against South Africa at The Oval on Thursday.
He said: "I'm very thrilled and excited to have been given the opportunity to captain England."
I will give it the best go I can give it.
And they wonder why we have a "Yob Culture"
