Ex-England cricketer Kevin Pietersen had an epic meltdown on Twitter after Emirates left his luggage behind.
Pietersen was “FUMING!!!!!!” after he said the airline left his bags in Dubai as he flew to Melbourne to front the KFC Big Bash League cricket coverage. “How do I work on international TV in a few hours with no clothes?” he asked, mid-rant.
Kevin was also upset that Emirates had “forgotten” to pick him up for his flight to Dubai from the UK, that the flight was then delayed, and that he could not watch BBL on the plane because it did not have any live TV.
He had flown home to England from Australia to spend Christmas with his family, and was returning for work when the series of “first world problems” happened.
1. Thanks @emirates for waiting for us to connect after our delay.
2. Why the hell is there no LIVE tv on this 13hr flight?!?!
I can’t watch @BBL now!

The presenter let loose after Emirates left his bags in Dubai – but appeared grateful when he was given an Emirates credit card to buy some clothes before his imminent TV appearance.
Australian musician Phil Jamieson also chipped in, saying: “1. Get a cab 2. The production will provide you with wardrobe you peanut.”
When one person questioned whether every person whose bag got left behind would be treated to an Emirates credit card, Pietersen replied: “Nah, just the ones who are tall, dark, handsome, have beautiful brown eyes, are softly spoken, respectful, appreciative & have over 3.5mill followers…!”
He went shopping to buy a new outfit suitable for TV, later tweeting a photo on the field which revealed he ran out of money before he could buy socks. “Gutted, but got some decent get up!” he said.
