KP eyeing to return to international cricket with South Africa
Pietersen has not been selected in the English national side since the 2013-14 Ashes series whitewash in Australia.
Pietersen will be eligible to play for his native country South Africa in early 2018.
“Yes, it is a thought in my head,” he was quoted as saying by Cricket Australia website.
“If it happens, it happens, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. Obviously, playing international is something I have done for a very long time," he said.
The cricketer said: "Do I miss playing international cricket? Do I miss batting in international cricket? Yes I do very much so you never know.”
“The eligibility for South Africa is still (over) a year away. So we will have to wait and see but it (an English call-up) is definitely still an option,” he said.
Pietersen is regularly seen performing on the field in different T20 leagues,
He is currently playing in the IPL for India.
