England will enter a new era without one of their greatest-ever batsmen after the ECB decided not to consider Kevin Pietersen for selection for the forthcoming tour of the Caribbean and subsequent World Twenty20.
A career that spanned 104 Tests and more than 150 limited-overs appearances over nine years, during which time Pietersen became England's leading run-scorer in international cricket yet became one of the most divisive players in their history, now appears to be over.
The final separation comes little more than a year after Pietersen's successful "reintegration" to the team on the tour of India.
The ECB said in a statement that the decision had been unanimous among the England management, adding that "now was the time to start the rebuilding process" after the disappointment of being whitewashed in Australia.
