Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen says the lack of "superstars" in cricket is a "big worry" for the state of the sport.

Pietersen, 38, retired from all forms of cricket earlier this year.

He scored 8,181 runs in 104 Tests for England in addition to 4,440 runs in 136 one-day internationals and 1,176 runs in 37 Twenty20 internationals.

"I really struggle to see entertainers, they're lacking in the game," Pietersen told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek.

He added that India captain Virat Kohli is the "stand-out" of those currently playing.

"But otherwise pure entertainers and superstars are not in the game and that's a big worry," he said.

South Africa-born Pietersen contrasted current international cricketers with stars of the early 2000s such as Sri Lanka spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, West Indies fast bowlers Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh and Australia greats Justin Langer, Matthew Hayden, Ricky Ponting, Adam Gilchrist, Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne.

"Maybe it's a generational thing but the sad part is that quite a few of those former players are commentating but they are not in the game of cricket," Pietersen said.

"You want those superstars attached to franchises, national sides and academies so that youngsters get inspired to be those people."

Are there the entertainers?

Is it the lack of wider exposure via the media that is missing?

Would you class Buttler and Stokes as entertainers?

At Notts, Samit and Fletch cause excitement when called into action; isn't this because they're characters and so entertain us?
