    Just four months before England has to defend their World T20 title in Sri Lanka, Kevin Pietersen has announced that he is retiring from all international limited overs cricket with immediate effect.

    However, he has generously offered to remain available for consideration as a specialist Test match player:

    With the intensity of the international schedule and the increasing demands on my body, I think it is the right time to step aside and let the next generation of players come through to gain experience for the World Cup in 2015. I am immensely proud of my achievements in the one-day game but still wish to be considered for selection for England in Test cricket.

    Even though Pietersen has made such a generous offer, it seems that it is still not good enough for England Cricket. Look how Hugh Morris, the managing director of ECB, shows his ungratefulness:

     ECB is disappointed by the timing of Kevin’s decision less than four months before we defend our ICC World Twenty20 title.

    To date, Pietersen has played 127 ODIs and 36 T20s for England, making his international debut in 2004 against Zimbabwe in Harare. He has scored 4,184 runs at an average of 41,84 in one-day internationals and averages 37,93 in international T20 cricket.
