According to the media reports, Kevin Pietersen will be allowed to carry on playing his extraordinary ‘reverse slog-sweep’ after MCC, cricket’s rule-makers, announced they would not be outlawing the ‘switch-hit’. “MCC believes that the ‘switch-hit’ stroke is exciting for the game of cricket,” said a statement issued by MCC following a meeting at it’s Lord’s headquarters in London on Tuesday.
