Kevin Pietersen rules out return to England 'nonsense'

Former England captain Kevin Pietersen has said he never wants to play for the national side again, stating he could do without the “nonsense”.

The South African born cricketer, who currently plays for Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League, established himself as one of England’s finest batsman in the modern era but endured a difficult relationship with the ECB.

Pietersen led the England from August 2008 to January 2009, but resigned after just three Tests and nine ODIs following a dispute with then-England coach Peter Moores

Gayle, McCullum, Pietersen, Bravo, Malinga, Morgan, Roy & Pollard have been announced as marquee players for South Africa's new T20 league.
