The 35-year-old England batsman Kevin Pietersen has withdrawn himself out of the IPL 2017 Auction. He took this decision as he wanted to spend some good time with his family after so long and hectic scheduled.
He tweeted: "I won't be going into the IPL auction. My winter has been too busy with all my travel & I don't want to spend April/May away too!"
Pietersen has remained part of four IPL teams (Royal Challengers Banglore in 2009, Deccan Chargers, Delhi Daredevils, Rising Pune Supergiants). He was also selected by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2015, but he could not continue that year as he had a call-up from England.
