England batsman Kevin Pietersen has confirmed that he is to leave Hampshire at the end of this season.

Pietersen made his first appearance in two years in last Sunday's Friends Provident t20 win over Surrey.

That was only his 11th Hampshire game in the last four years and his current Rose Bowl contract is due to expire.

"It's just a geographical issue," said his agent Adam Wheatley. "He and his family are in London, and the county is 90 minutes down the road."

So Middlesex or Surrey it is then.

I don't know why he bothers having a county. Or most of the elite players for that matter.

Pretty much agree. They are no use for counties in the modern era.
