Kevin Pietersen is 32-year-old, England's most talented
batsman, quit white-ball internationals for his adopted country after team
management refused him his wish to appear in Twenty20 matches while opting out
of 50-over games.
ECB central contract prevent the players picking and choosing formats and team management fearing an exodus of leading names from the one-day side if they gave Pietersen his head.
In the absence of Petersen’s England
beat the West Indies 2-0 and thrashed Australia 4-0 to make it 10 one-day
international wins in a row.
Pietersen still hopes of helping
England defend its World Twenty20 title in Sri Lanka in the month of September.
If Pietersen wants to play in the
World Twenty20, England will have to move fast as the International Cricket
Council deadline for naming initial 30-man squads is July 18.
About the T-20 game Pietersen said: ``I've
always said I want to play in Twenty20.
