Kevin Pietersen's retirement from One-day internationals could yet prove to be a brief interlude after he said Friday he would "love to play for another three or four years in all forms of cricket".
Pietersen, speaking after warming-up for next week's first Test against his native South Africa with a superb unbeaten 234 for Surrey against county champions Lancashire, added he had held talks with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) about ending his limited overs retirement.
The 32-year-old, arguably England's most talented batsman, quit white ball internationals for his adopted country after team management refused him his wish to appear in Twenty20 matches while opting out of 50-over games.
Pietersen, who still harbours hopes of helping England defend their World Twenty20 title in Sri Lanka in September, having been man of the tournament in the Caribbean two years ago, insisted once more that the team's packed schedule was a major barrier to a one-day return.
