Pietersen could be asked to consult a relationship expert

London, Sep.16: Out-of-favour England batsman Kevin Pietersen is unlikely to be part of the tour party to India when it is announced on Tuesday, and if reports are to be believed, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), is considering using an external mediator to repair damaged relationships such as it has with KP.

According to The Sun, KP, 32, will not be the first to seek professional help under the ECB umbrella.

In January 2009, the ECB used a company dealing in conflict resolution following the removal of Pietersen as captain and Peter Moores as head coach.
