Kevin Pietersen has yet to consider Leicestershire 's bold attempt to sign him for this summer 's NatWest T20 Blast . After new England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves hinted last weekend there is still a possibility of a return to international cricket for the record-breaking batsman , sacked last year , the first definite attempt by a county to secure his services surfaced on Friday . Leicestershire chief executive Wasim Khan told Cricinfo he had been in touch with Pietersen 's advisers about the possibility of signing the 34-year-old between his existing commitments at the Indian and Caribbean premier leagues . Kevin Pietersen played for Surrey in last year 's Natwest Twenty20 Blast . Pietersen 's agent confirmed an initial discussion did take place , but added it was 'some time ago ' . Leicestershire 's gambit therefore appears to pre-date Graves ' remarks , in which he indicated Pietersen 's return to county cricket - as a pre-requisite of being considered again for England - would need to encompass all formats , rather than just Twenty20 . Wasim told Cricinfo : ' I approached his agent about his T20 availability . 'But he said it was unlikely he would play any T20 ( in England ) due to his full CPL commitments . ' The former England batsman pictured watching QPR 's 2-1 defeat by Arsenal on Wednesday night . Pietersen 's agent said : ' I have n't had a conversation with Kevin about Leicestershire - it is not something we have discussed . ' Pietersen , who was axed by the ECB 13 months ago after England 's 2013/14 Ashes whitewash defeat and described by his employers ' managing director Paul Downton as 'disengaged ' , has since published an autobiography in which he is very critical of several former team-mates and management staff . He played for Surrey in last year 's domestic T20 competition , but was de-registered by them at the end of the season . Pietersen , playing for Melbourne Stars , waits to bat in the Big Bash League semi-final in January .
Leicestershire have made bold attempt to sign Piertersen for T20 . They want Kevin Pietersen to play between Caribbean and Indian commitments . Former England batsman 's agent says he has n't had a conversation with Pietersen about the offer .
