Pietersen wants Alastair Cook to resign from captaincy

The former England all-rounder Kevin Pietersen has urged Alastair Cook to relinquish England's ODI captaincy following the team's eight-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka.

The Essex county player was appointed as 50-over skipper in 2011, who has contributed just 22 runs as the tourists were bowled out for 185 in Colombo.

Pietersen tweeted:
