Luke Wright has claimed that it would be unfair to compare him to Kevin Pietersen during England's campaign in the World Twenty20 tournament.

The Sussex batsman is expected to provide the kind of explosive shots that England will miss from Pietersen in the competition due to his ongoing problems with the ECB.

Wright admits that he would like to have the same impact on the side that Pietersen did when England were crowned champions two years ago.

The 27-year-old said of Pietersen's form in the tournament in the West Indies: "I'd quite like to replicate that, that'd be quite nice.

"I don't think it's fair to put myself up against KP, especially in this tournament. We're just planning purely on what we're doing and what my role is. If I start thinking things like that it would make the role a lot harder."

England continue their preparations for the tournament with a warm-up match against Pakistan on Wednesday.
