Cape Town - It was comical on the surface, but former England batsman Kevin Pietersen was not chuffed about his photograph being attached to a newspaper article on the sensational match-fixing news to emerge out of South Africa this past weekend.
A Bangladesh-based English daily, the Dhaka Tribune, ran a story on former Proteas batsman - Alviro Petersen - responding this weekend to the news that he was being charged under Cricket South Africa's (CSA) anti-corruption code for match-fixing allegations relating to last season's domestic T20 competition.
But, instead of running a photograph of Petersen, the newspaper ran a photograph of Pietersen.
'KP', currently in Hobart commentating on the second Test between Australia and South Africa, did not take kindly to the mistake.
The newspaper later apologised.
Hmmmmmm!!!! Not quite sure I'm all that happy with my image being used under this headline!!! What paper is this?????? pic.twitter.com/8fEkaMRt0B
