Fake Pietersen Twitter Account Removed

The Kevin Pietersen parody Twitter account has been removed from the social media website amid talk he was set to quit England’s Test team.

The 32-year-old batsman, who was man-of-the-match in the Second Test between England and South Africa, had hinted he may quit the side following the match for political reasons.

On Wednesday, there was talk Pietersen believed the parody “KP Genius” Twitter account was being run by his team-mates, arguably part of the political issue. And now the account has been removed off Twitter.

Earlier in the week, Pietersen had said: “I can’t give any assurances that the next Test won’t be my last.

“I’d like to carry on but there are obstacles that need to be worked out. There are other points I’m trying to sort out in the dressing room.

“It would be a huge shame. I love playing Test cricket for England, but we’ll see. For me, the saddest part about all this is that the spectators just love watching me play and I love playing for England.”

He had added: “The politics is what I have to deal with personally. It’s tough being me playing for England.

“There’s always speculation. There’s speculation every single day. You guys speculate about my life all day every day. I’m going to make some decisions that will make me very happy.”
