**Aug 4 2008 **
Pietersen named **[England][3]** skipper, describing appointment as "a huge
honour and a terrific challenge for me at this stage of my international
career".
**Dec 15 **
Sources suggest Pietersen decided he no longer wanted Peter Moores as coach
after England fail to defend 387 in Test match against India in Madras.
**Dec 29 **
Michael Vaughan omitted for tour of West Indies against Pietersen's wishes.
**Dec 31 **
_Telegraph Sport_ breaks the story of a rift between Pietersen and Moores.
**Jan 4 2009 **
Pietersen breaks his silence. "This situation is not healthy, we have to make
sure it is settled as soon as possible and certainly before we fly off to West
Indies. Everything has to be hunky dory, everybody has to have the same aims
and pull in the same direction for the good of the England team."
