    To concentrate on tests. Like Dagnall saying quitting reserve team football to concentrate on scoring.

    Why quit your best form of the game?

    more to do with spending time at home with the mrs than any cricketing issues. he could and would easily make it through to the 2015 world cup as one of englands first choice batsmen

    the story ive heard is that he asked for the remainder of this year off, test matches aside, and it was met with refusal by the ECB so he said fine i may as well retire from that format then.

    Hes getting fed up of the amount of cricket hes having to play.

    Hes said a few times in last 12 month that he says 50 overs cricket as the least important one for him.

    Some say he wanted to just do the T20 stuff but ECB 'rules' say you can't just quit 50 over ODIs on the one-day scene, got to quit both!

    Watch him play T20 at the IPL.

    They should drop him from the Test side too if that is the case. Tail wagging the dog again, or trying to at least.

    why shouldnt he play in the IPL? he always makes himself available for the tests unlike a lot of the cricketers who go and play in it.

    Why is he.
    They are asked to play a lot of international cricket now and hes not ready to do that. He wants to play for a long time in test.

    As the door closes on KP .......

    it opens for a younger South African to make his way in the England team.

    A cricketer getting fed up of playing cricket - the game that has made him a very wealthy man. Ponty is right; tail wagging dog.

    they should have let him continue playing T20 internationals for England, its a load of crap saying he has to be available for both formats, they are completely different skills
