London - Kevin Pietersen's controversial England career came to a dramatic end after officials announced Tuesday they "unanimously" wanted to rebuild the side without him following their Ashes thrashing in Australia.

In a joint statement with the 33-year-old former England captain, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced they'd left the gifted batsman out of their squads for both the upcoming ODI of the West Indies and the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh and that this meant the end of his international career.

Oh yeah sure, because it was his fault that they failed.

The ECB are a joke.

In all seriousness, I'd have KP back here, but we just don't need him to be honest.

I like the guy...

They said the same thing after the texting scandal. Sure they might not select him against the minnows like WI but when they play Oz again in the next Ashes and he is in form they will select him again.

I didn't like the guys because of the 'made up' reasons he gave for not playing for SA, but he is seriously talented in a team that needs his talent and you have to hand it to him.

Stupid decision

Haha, I love to see one of the big three screw something up so bad. I do not like KP but as far as english batting talent goes at the moment he is one of the better ones.

Very talented player but he doesn't ever play the situation and for the team. He'd be at the crease at 20/3 and he will look to play his booming drives and be aggressive. When it comes off, it looks spectacular but he doesn't seem to ever want to grind any innings out. That must be frustrating.



England will miss his match winning ability and his runs...

he is a d00s. I wouldn't have in my team. he splits the dressing room and I imagine doesn't follow instructions very well. sure he will be missed. but if they want to build for the future it will have to be without him.

I think that Geoffrey boycott dude called him a d00s as well for not being able to play the match situation during the ashes.

Long term, the ECB are making the right move. Can't be held to ransom by the whims of talented primadonnas.

Agreed, he's a twat and has killed two coaches... Get rid of him and keep him rid, personally I would love to punch him in the middle of the face!

Where's that graphic.

No SA players left.

England is officially in the brown.

Poor decision by ECB.


KP is their best player.

Cook should be fired/dropped. KP should be captain.


HAHAHAHA... Poms are doing the rest of the world a favour, without KP ( the only player that they had that can dominate any attack in the world) they will not stand much of a chance in any ICC events.
