PRESS RELEASE
Kevin Pietersen to leave Hampshire Cricket at the end of the Season
Kevin Pietersen will not be renewing his contract with Hampshire Cricket at the end of the 2010 season. Following the recent birth of his first child and now living in London with wife Jessica, Pietersen feels that he needs to look closer to home to play his county cricket.
Pietersen said; “I have not had much opportunity to play for Hampshire but I want to thank the players, staff, Chairman and fans, for the support I have had during my time at The Rose Bowl. Hampshire is a great club and I wish them well for the future.”
Rod Bransgrove, Chairman of Hampshire Cricket said, "Given England's critical dependence on KP in all forms of cricket, we have not seen anything like as much of him as we would have liked over the past 6 years.
“He remains, however, a fantastic player and we wish him continued success wherever he plays and, in particular, we wish him, Jessica and Dylan every happiness."
New Baby Pietersen, 10th May 2010
Kevin and Jessica Pietersen are both thrilled to announce the birth of their baby boy today, Monday 10th May. The baby was born this morning without complication and both baby and Jessica are doing brilliantly.
Kevin made a dramatic last minute flight from Barbados where he's playing for England in the World Twenty 20 to be by Jessica's side and be there for the birth.
Kevin said "this really is the most amazing experience of my life".
Kevin will stay with Jessica for a couple of days before returning to the West Indies to continue the tournament.
They would now like to spend time on their own to enjoy and relish every minute of their new arrival.
