Usman Khawaja to replace Pietersen in Pune Supergiants?
He went unsold during the Indian Premier League auction in February.
"He (Khawaja) is a guy we are surely looking at," Pune coach Stephen Fleming was quoted as saying by Cricket Australia website.
"There is a shortlist we are working through so looking at availability and Visas and the likes, but he is certainly a guy we are interested in," he said.
Pietersen was ruled out from the ongoing season of the IPL due to injury.
"@KP24 won't be representing us this season anymore due to an unfortunate injury. We wish him express recovery!" the IPL side tweeted.
