Was this a mistake or was he just angry, but it looks like Kevin Pietersen has been dropped by England and will play for Surrey….This from Twitter
KP on twitter
The revelation appears to have been made in error by Pietersen, who Tweeted the news before hastily deleting the post. Pietersen, who was named Player of the Tournament at this year’s World Twenty20 in the Caribbean, wrote on the site: “Yep… Done for rest of summer!! Man of the World Cup T20 and dropped from the T20 side too… It’s a —- up!! Surrey have signed me for l…”, at which point the Tweet cuts off. Read more in the Telegraph.

Following our breaking this news, the ECB confirmed that Pietersen has been dropped and will play for Surrey for the rest of the season. Will a Twitter ban now follow for England players?
Stan James make Kevin Pietersen 10/3 to top score for Surrey in their CB40 game v Worcestershire tomorrow night following the players’ announcement on Twitter that he had been left out of the England T20 & 50-over internationals with Pakistan and that he has joined Surrey.
Head of PR Charlie McCann: ” I’m not convinced the England hierarchy would have wished for KP to announce his omission from the limited over squads in this way but whether he has been dropped or rested we don’t think it will effect his Ashes or World Cup chances. We make KP 10/3 to top score tomorrow and 9/4 he hits 50 or more.”
