Maverick has said to have enough of limited overs cricket. Kevin Pietersen has called it quits to International 50 overs and T-20 cricket. The decision for many seemed to have been a sudden but i doubt whether it will be surprising or not. He always has been the one to catch people unawares.

Like him for dazzling strokeplay or hate him for his outspoken streak, but International limited overs cricket will miss KP for sure.
