England coach Andy Flower said he expects an announcement on Kevin Pietersen's future with the side before Thursday as he hoped for a positive resolution to the saga. The star batsman was cast into international exile in August after sending text messages to touring South Africa players that contained criticism of then England captain Andrew Strauss during the Test series.
Flower said he was optimistic that an agreement had finally been reached. "The situation is ongoing. I think it's nearing an end now - hopefully in a positive way," he told British media. "There's been a lot of formal communication between the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) and Kevin, and there will be a press conference I would imagine in the next 36 hours which will enlighten you a little further."
