Following Kevin Pietersen’s announcement to return to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL due to his England snub, we look at how the action unfolded on Twitter.
Read that my old mate Strauss has said KP won’t play for Eng, but offered him an advisory role to help Eng ? What the ? Serious ? #shambles
Tight as …… At the top of IPL .. A real scramble for top 4 places …. KP off to the Sunrisers …they going well #Moody

ECB only told KP to leave IPL & Go back to County Score runs now they are talking about Trust.. Actually KP only shouldn’t Trust ECB

Morning all, after a pretty bad day yesterday I’ve given it a lot of thought overnight. I’m applying for the coaching job! #StraussLogic

@PaneerBhurji KP’s headed to IPL. He knows what he has to do now. He’s smart, will never get in the ECB muddle now.

KP heading to the IPL. What if Sunrisers don’t pick him? Will he head back to Surrey?

Someone has to trust the fact that KP had scored 355*, by staying away from the lucrative IPL. KP trusted ECB. But ECB..?

#StraussLogic , ECB hates IPL, misguided KP on selection so that he loses on both side, Straus as director in itself is few steps back

After Graves’s loose talk, IPL U-turns and a 300, the bottom line is that Cook doesn’t want KP and the ECB have backed the captain.

With KP leaving for the #IPL, you will get usual types saying he is thinking of himself…well he thought of England & look what it got him

ECB to #KP – give up IPL deal, play county cricket, make runs, we may consider you he does it all ECB to #KP – sorry, don’t trust you

Andrew Strauss is right. It is a trust issue. No England cricket fan now trusts him after he sacked KP again.

Is anyone else finding this whole Kevin Pietersen thing baffling?

KP in today’s Daily Mail http://t.co/MB1TwyrwfX. — no difference to Armitage in Rugby , this must be the coaches decision , simple really ?

Kevin Pietersen averaging 234 this season, about the same as the thousands of £ he turned down from IPL to play his way into England team
