Former Charismatic batsman Kevin Pietersen has confirmed that the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) will be his last as a player. Pietersen, 38, took to Twitter to say that he will not be playing in Australia again once the current Big Bash ends. He had a tumultuous end to his England career after being sacked in 2014 and with his latest comments strongly suggest that he will retire after the end of the year.
“Confirming that this is my last BBL as a player! By the time BBL starts later this yr I cannot see myself wanting to improve or try & get better. That means it’s time to finish! I’ll enjoy playing my last few games at the Adelaide Oval, SCG & MCG!” tweeted Pietersen.
Pietersen has played 29 Big Bash League matches, scoring 998 runs with a high score of 76 and a strike rate of 135.97.
