Kevin Pietersen has said that there is still a possibility that it could play cricket "cue" for England again despite retiring from international matches in limited off.


However, the South Africa-born batsman in - which is still a test cricketer - said he needs a drastic change to England's busy schedule for him to consider a return to one day and Twenty20 matches for his adopted country.

"I had my wife, mother, father, mother, brothers and my best mates of all I said, 'Do not you wish you were there batting against Australia (in the course of a day in the series)? Pietersen Daily Mail said Monday.

"And I told you I have not missed at all. But maybe I just needed a break. Who knows, I've played a lot of cricket in the last seven years."

Asked if he would consider retiring from international cricket two shorter formats, the 32-year-old said: "Never say never I'm much older and more mature than some years ago, so it never known ..

"Anything can happen. I'll never say no, but the program should be a hell of a lot different for me to return. Wait and see."

Pietersen, one of the undoubted stars 'box office' of world cricket, he calls off his international career management limited when England denied his desire to continue playing while quitting Twenty20s 50 overs by one dayers .

He was said to be available for both formats amid concerns that otherwise would be the next to 50 on weakened by several players follow the example of Pietersen.

Pietersen, the man of the tournament when England won the World Twenty20 in the Caribbean two years ago, still harbors the hope of helping a hand to defend his title in Sri Lanka in September.

"I have hope that there might be a compromise for the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka," he said. "The team has not been announced.

"I love to play on that and defend our title with England. If this happens, great, but I'm not holding my breath."

The geography of England means that, uniquely among the countries of cricket, you are guaranteed almost a year-long program of international cricket.

But critics insist that Pietersen could have continued playing for England in the three major formats and yet have given yourself a break if you had chosen the lucrative Twenty20 Indian Premier League.

But Pietersen, said he hoped that he, or other world stars, losing the IPL was not realistic and that their participation was not simply a matter of cash.

"Okay, the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) can tell me to play in the IPL makes it hard for me to rest, but what bothers me is that with every other board the IPL is a question of fact. Not will disappear, "he said.

"It's going to be there and the players want to play on it. Players want to go and earn your money and do not let that decisions will be made.

"Great players want to play in front of large audiences. Want to hear his name chanted by 50,000 people. It's amazing. It makes you feel so good.

"The window for which has been created by the advice of others, but unfortunately not ours."

England have so far held up well, without Pietersen and lead Australia 3-0 in a game of five a day ahead of the final series on Tuesday at Old Trafford.

In particular, Ian Bell, since being called up next to a day in the place as an opener Pietersen has scored 364 runs in five innings at an impressive average of 72.8.
