Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen has left the 13th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL 2020) English commentary panel to head back to the UK to spend time with his children.
“I left the IPL as it’s half term for my kids and I want to be at home with them. It’s been a strange year, so now they’re off school, I want to be with them all day, everyday,” Pietersen tweeted who has two kids with his singer wife Jessica Taylor.
