Kevin Pietersen immune from ECB action over book
Kevin Pietersen is immune from potential ECB disciplinary action over his autobiography after Surrey cancelled his registration but the fallout could yet have a detrimental effect on his chances of continuing his cricket career in England
KP: The Autobiography is due to be launched on October 9 and Pietersen could have faced a charge of bringing the game in disrepute for details of his sacking by the ECB in March and events on the disastrous Ashes tour last winter. Now, as a free agent, the ECB will be unable to punish Pietersen.
Pietersen also does not have to seek the ECB s permission to play in the Big Bash in Australia or the IPL patagonia better sweater rei consent that may have been refused following revelations in Pietersen s book. He has signed a two year deal to play for Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash and is also likely to return for Delhi Daredevils in the IPL.
The confpatagonia r4 for sale0identiality clause that followed the cancellation of Pietersen s central contract expired on October 1 and his book is set to shed light on the acrimonious end to his time in the England team and the text gate incident during England s serieinexpensive patagonia fleeces with South Africa in 2012 which threatened an end to his international career.
Pietersen s contract with Surrey ended on August 30 and despite voicing his intentions to play county cricket during September, Surrey decided not to consider him for the final weeks of the season.
He is expected to enter discussions with Surrey over a return in 2015 but any return to county cricket could potentially leave Pietersen open to retrospective disciplinary action by the ECB as well as bring tension between Supatagonia r4 for salerrey and the governing body. Although it might be premature to pronounce thapatagonia r4 for sale2t his county career is patagonia r4 for sale3over, its continuation might be regarded as problematic at best.
Pietersen s 2014 summer consisted entirely as a freenew patagonia infant down sweater bunting 12 monthlance T20 cricketer, firstly for Delhi Daredevils in the IPL where he made only one half century in 11 innings. He fared even worse for Surrey in the NatWest Blast, averaging just 22.50 over 12 innings. He also played twice for St Lucia Zouks in the Caribbean Premier League, scoring 23 and 7, having arrived at the tournament when his team were already knocked out.
Surrey s current chief executive, Richard Gould, is the favourite to fill the equivalent role at the ECB, aftepatagonia r4 for sale1r David Cpatagonia better sweater 80sollier stood down at the end of the season. Gould will be anxious to delay any decision on Kevin Pietersen until the result of the ECB recruitment process is known.
Pietersen was a world class plpatagonia discount code intuitayer who played many important innings and was a key part of the England team in all formats. Key words in that sentence was .
Since he was finally left out by England he has done nothing opatagonia discount code your tean the cricket field to give anyone ammunition to show that the decision to finish his International career was wrong. If he wanted to embarrass the ECB the best way to have done that was score a bucket full of runs in all formats.
He s done the exact opposite of that and really provided validation the ECB got the decision right.
It seems a bit weird to say KP is immune from ECB disciplinary action when it is clearly open to the ECB to refuse to allow him to play in any competition under the ECB s control for as long as they feel like. Ipatagonia footwear better ankle clogf he were still under an English contract, they could spenpatagonia guide jacket definitiond a lot of money on QCs to argue against KP s QCs about whether KP should pay a fine which would probably be dwarfed by the legal costs just incurred, but what on earth would be the point of that anyway?
No doubt he will reveal that some people involved with his cricket career haven t been very nice to him. Some may well have been unfair. The trail of teams with which he s had acrimonious bust ups suggest that he hasn t been very nice to everybody and has probably also been unfair. BFD.
