Pietersen鈥檚 career ends
Print Edition
Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen expressed sadness over the end of his international career yesterday and said that he was “incredibly overwhelmed” by the support he had received.
The 33-year-old’s days as an international cricketer came to an end on Tuesday when the England and Wales Cricket Board announced that it had “unanimously” decided to move forward without him.
With England due to name its squads for the forthcoming tour of the West Indies and the World Twenty20 today, the ECB’s new managing director, Paul Downton, elected to make a decisive call on Pietersen’s future.
Pietersen posted a picture on photo-sharing website Instagram of himself leaving the field after his final test match against Australia in Sydney during England’s recent 0-5 Ashes defeat.
He wrote: “So sad that this will now be the last time I leave a field in an England shirt.
“Incredibly overwhelmed by the support overnight! Thank you so much. I love England.”
With 13,797 runs to his name, Pietersen bows out as England’s all-time leading scorer across all formats of the game.
