The world is now seeing a new Kevin Pietersen. He was never this disappointed, even during his removal from the team. He is now one dejected individual.
Recently, the former English batsman scored a master class triple hundred while playing in the county cricket. He even gave up his IPL contract to pay to County Cricket. But new ECB director Andrew Strauss shut the doors on him citing “trust” issues.
Dejected at being ‘misled’ to understand that he stood a chance to make an England entry, the 34-year-old player feels ‘betrayed’ by the ECB even after his mammoth score of 344 against Leicestershire.
SRH had agreed to pay Rs 20 million for the former Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Daredevils player at the pre-season auction in Bengaluru.
“Under the agreement of releasing me from my IPL contract, Sunrisers Hyderabad have the right to recall me for the final stages of the tournament, so on Friday at their request I’ll be traveling out to India. It’ll give me a good opportunity to cool down and assess what I’m going to do next. I’m just sorry it won’t be putting on an England shirt,” he said.
