Kevin Pietersen may retire from Test cricket after Lord's Test

Kevin Pietersen has hinted that the third Test against South Africa at Lord's may be his last for England. The 32-year-old batsman has been at odds with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) since he quit limited-overs internationals in May. He told the BBC's Test Match Special: "I can't give any assurances [that the next Test will not be his last. "I love playing Test cricket, but there are obstacles and I'll decide what happens at the end of the next Test." His retirement from the shorter formats of the international game came after the ECB rejected his desire to play in Twenty20 internationals but not one-day matches.
