Which means he can enjoy a lucrative IPL contract whilst still on a central ecb contract which allows him to earn fropm image rights/sponsorship[s etc......

Hardly a surprise to me den i thought he would retire from ODIs,i think he got the needle over Nick Knights comments on sky and it just hastened his departure from that form of the game, and also the 20/20 version.

Pietersen is a good player but arrogant and his ego is also paper thin.

Wonder how much longer England will stick with him as a test player.?

I am not so sure den i hear the ecb are not well pleased with his timing a few months before the 20/20 world cup and a windies one day series.!

Pietersen has a habit of cheesing people off.!;)

From what l heard he just wanted to plat the 20/20 game and not the 50 over games and the ECB said no to that but there is still no disguising the talent of the man.:)

No i agree but that talent comes with a ton of baggage.

The ECB have ruled that England players have to be available for all one day forms of the game to stop them cherry picking which games they want to take part in,that is why he cannot be selected for 20/20 games den,a fact he would have known when he quit ODIs.:)
