"IPL in SA will be big hit"

"The weather will be good, the pitches will be hard and there should be some exciting cricket with some really big scores, which is what T20 is all about.” said England player Kevin Pietersen.

"England would have been a great host for the tournament as well, but now they've made the decision to go to South Africa I think everybody will get behind it and turn it into another massive event," the 28-year-old said.

"It will be great fun. The South African public love their Twenty20 and I'm sure it will be another great spectacle, like the World T20," Pietersen said. "Having some family back in South Africa means I will get the best of both worlds. We'll play in front of some passionate fans," he added.
