Kevin Pietersen makes a big statement on his cricket career

1

Playing in the Pakistan Super League for the franchise Quetta Gladiators was former England player”s last assignment. Quetta was able to finish fourth in the league table and hence, reaching the playoffs. A campaign in which KP played a crucial role. The next round of the PSL will happen in Pakistan and KP made it clear earlier that he won”t be traveling to Pakistan because of the security reasons and subsequently the last Quetta league game was going to be his last for them.

And so, as he had announced he won”t be playing the Big Bash league again and doesn”t want to play the summer cricket wanting to spend time with his family, confirming this Quetta game as the last in his cricketing career. His international career had virtually ended with the infamous Ashes whitewash of England in Australia 2013/14.

Kevin Pietersen has possibly officially confirmed his retirement from all forms of cricket today. Kevin posted a tweet on the social media network Twitter as “BOOTS UP! Thank you”.

The 37-year-old had a superb and at times controversial international cricketing career. In 104 Tests for England, he scored 8181 runs at 47.28 with 23 centuries and 35 fifties. In 136 ODIs, he scored 4440 runs with nine centuries and 25 fifties. He also played in 37 T20Is, scoring 1176 runs and was part of England”s World T20 winning team in 2010.

KP ended it up, with another tweet with a photo while batting and captioned “Time to move on”.
