ENGLAND star Kevin Pietersen retired from all forms of international limited overs cricket yesterday, a decision which took the England and Wales Cricket Board by surprise.
Pietersen, who will continue to be available for tests, said in a statement he wished to step aside in order to give the next generation of players a chance to bed in before the 2015 World Cup.
"After a great deal of thought and deliberation, I am today announcing my retirement from international one-day cricket," said Pietersen, who turns 32 next month. "With the intensity of the international schedule and the increasing demands on my body, approaching 32, I think it is the right time to step aside and let the next generation of players come through to gain experience for the ICC World Cup in 2015," he added.
