Beaten champions England will be back home from their failed ICC World Twenty20 campaign by the time they are any the wiser as to whether Kevin Pietersen may soon be a team-mate again.
The coach Andy Flower was required both to assess England's early elimination and make public utterance for the first time in more than a month on Pietersen's contractual status. He deferred, in some measure, on the latter, on the grounds that an intended press conference "in the next 36 hours" is likely to provide a telling update.
