Kevin Pietersen has been left out of England’s one day and Twenty20 squads for the upcoming matches with Pakistan.

The former England captain posted an update on his Twitter page confirming he had been omitted and that he is also set to join Surrey. His ‘tweet’ however, was only visible for a matter of minutes before being deleted.

The ECB have recently contemplated banning their players from using social networking websites whilst they are on international duty.

Pietersen wrote on Twitter: “Yep… Done for rest of summer!! Man of the World Cup T20 and dropped from the T20 side too… It’s a f*** up!! Surrey have signed me for l…”,- at which point the message is cut off.

England NatWest Int T20 squad:

Paul Collingwood (Durham; capt), James Anderson (Lancashire), Ravi Bopara (Essex), Tim Bresnan (Yorkshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), Steven Davies (Surrey), Craig Kieswetter (Somerset), Eoin Morgan (Middlesex), Ryan Sidebottom (Nottinghamshire), Graeme Swann (Nottinghamshire), Luke Wright (Sussex), Michael Yardy (Sussex).

England NatWest Series squad:

Andrew Strauss (Middlesex; capt), James Anderson (Lancashire), Ravi Bopara (Essex), Tim Bresnan (Yorkshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), Paul Collingwood (Durham), Steven Davies (Surrey), Eoin Morgan (Middlesex), Ajmal Shahzad (Yorkshire), Ryan Sidebottom (Nottinghamshire), Graeme Swann (Nottinghamshire), Jonathan Trott (Warwickshire), Luke Wright (Sussex), Michael Yardy (Sussex).

it was an accident apparently, he only meant to send it to a friend, but ended up posting it to the world.

poor old KP.

good on the selectors for dropping him though, I agree with Nasser Hussain who said that it sends a message that nobody can expect to keep their place if they’re not playing well enough
