Axed England batsman Kevin Pietersen has agreed a deal to play for Surrey in this year's English county cricket season, having been jettisoned from the national team set-up for good.
The 33-year-old has negotiated the end of his central England contract with the England and Wales Cricket Board and will now spend part of the English summer season turning out for the county he has sporadically represented since 2010.
Pietersen will turn out for the county once his Indian Premier League commitments are over.
Pietersen, cast away by England last week after their 5-0 Ashes whitewash in Australia because of his perceived lack of team spirit, will mainly feature in the T20 Blast that is scheduled on Fridays from May to July.
