  • Surprise guest: Pietersen enjoys some time in 'the middle'.

    The opportunity to play sport with the world's best players is something most people can only dream of, but that dream has come true for a group of guys in Dubai.

    While enjoying a casual game of cricket, the men were approached my none other than England great Kevin Pietersen. 

    As Pietersen wrote on his Instagram account: "I saw these guys playing on the side of the rd in #mydubai this evening and I really wanted to go play with them, so we stopped and I walked out and spent 5mins batting.

    "I will never forget the faces on these guys. Such lovely people & v v good too! I've always wanted to do this and today I did…this made me smile so much! Hope you guys like this short video!"

    Pietersen, who amassed over 13,700 runs during his nine-year England career, followed the first clip with a second. 

    "Here's another little clip…seriously, this made me so happy! X"

    Pietersen recently announced he will be opening a cricket academy in Dubai. The South African-born batsman captained the Delhi Daredevils during the 2014 Indian Premier League, although they failed to reach the play-offs.
