Should Pietersen Be Reinstated As England Captain?

I watched an interview with Kevin Pietersen today and began thinking after he said he "had unfinished business as captain". I was thinking should KP be reinstated as captain of England?

Knowing this shall spark a big debate I'm sure, I would give KP the job back but only in the limited overs side of the game, he would have to prove that he is really going to take the team in the right direction before I would consider giving him back the Test job.

Plus it would help him learn the ropes of being a captain and hopefully improve his tactics when it comes to crunch situations. I like Strauss as Test captain for the time being (at least until after the Ashes) but for me he shouldn't be considered for the ODI team so you have to pick somebody that is a regular in the team, Collingwood didn't enjoy the job and packed in, Freddie I'll just refer to Ashes 2006/07 and say no more, so who's the only other regulars? Swann (not a captain), Broad (too young but does strike me as an intelligent guy who could prove to be a leader) so that just leaves KP so I would give him the reigns in the summer (remember just limited overs format).

Please feel free to disagree, I'm actually hoping for some too and also some to agree with me.

So what would you do? Reinstate KP or not?
