Kevin Pietersen returns to Hampshire's one-day side this weekend.

The 26-year-old will play his second Friends Provident Trophy match of the season for the Hampshire Hawks against Glamorgan at Swansea.

The Hawks have to win the South Conference match to keep their hopes of qualifying for the semi-finals alive.

Meanwhile, Pietersen has played down opinions from the likes of Graham Thorpe that he should be England's next one-day captain.

He said:"It's definitely something that you think about.

"In the future it would be magnificent to captain my country, but I've clearly stated that Michael Vaughan is the captain of England.

"I get on really well with Michael. He's a really good friend of mine and during some of his dark days in the 18 months he was out (of the side) I used to text him and ring him and say you'll be back'. His leadership is fantastic and I'm very happy being one of the troops."
