Kevin Pietersen has said it will be "an absolute disgrace" if James Anderson and Stuart Broad never play for England again after they were dropped for the upcoming tour of the West Indies.
England have brutally axed both Anderson and Broad, their two leading wicket-takers of all time, with the pair among eight players dropped from their Ashes squad.
Interim managing director Sir Andrew Strauss said the pair were axed so England could "look at some exciting new bowling potential and give some added responsibility to other players who have featured previously."
