ENGLAND captain Andrew Strauss issued a warning to his squad on Thursday regarding the dangers of Twitter after Kevin Pietersen's latest spat on the social networking site.
Pietersen, one of England's leading batsmen, was fined an undisclosed sum for going on to Twitter to question the credentials of former England international Nick Knight as a Test match commentator of Sky Sports.
"I'm far too boring to use it!," he joked. "There are always shades of grey with Twitter. It does a really good job of publicizing the game but players can find themselves in hot water occasionally. There is a line they need to tread with regards to their conditions of employment. We have our own code of conduct and it is manageable. You will get occasions when people step out of line and they will be dealt with accordingly," he said.
