Pietersen commits to Surrey
England star Kevin Pietersen has committed his future to Surrey for
as long as he remains an international player, it was confirmed on
Thursday.
Pietersen is currently a centrally contracted player with England and
has no fixed term for his county career at Surrey.
However Surrey announced in a statement that Pietersen, 31, had
pledged to remain with the county for the duration of his central
contract with England, which is reviewed every 12 months.
"England batsman Kevin Pietersen has extended his contract with
Surrey County Cricket Club until the end of his central contract with
England," Surrey said in a statement.
Pietersen joined Surrey on loan in 2010 after a spell at Hampshire
before agreeing a one-year deal for 2011.
"Surrey is a fantastic club and I have been really impressed with the
environment and work ethic in place," Pietersen said.
"Their recent success is well deserved and I look forward to working
with them in 2012." AFP |
