England will enter a new era without one of their greatest-ever
batsmen after the ECB decided not to consider Kevin Pietersen for
selection for the forthcoming tour of the Caribbean and subsequent World
T20. A career that is consisting of 104 Tests and more than 150
limited-overs appearances over nine years, during which time KP became England’s leading run-scorer in international cricket yet became
one of the most divisive players in England’s history, now appears to be
over, little more than a year after his successful “reintegration” to
the team on the tour of India.
The ECB said in a statement that the decision had been unanimous
among the England management, adding that “now was the time to start the
rebuilding process” after the disappointment of being whitewashed in
Australia.
