Fed up with star batsman Kevin Pietersen's tantrums during the ongoing tour of West Indies, England captain Andrew Strauss has asked his predecessor to keep quite and act professionally.

Pietersen had caused a stir in the England camp after he asked to fly home for 48 hours to be with his wife between the third and fourth Tests which the team management refused as players are allowed home only for family bereavements or if their wives are due to give birth.
