Kevin Pietersen only has himself to blame for being left out in the international wilderness for England's upcoming Twenty20 and ODI matches against Pakistan.

The now erstwhile Rose Bowl star ludicrously revealed yesterday on social networking website 'Twitter' (a 'Tweet' in which he later retracted) his undoubted anger after being dropped from an England squad for the first time in his illustrious career.

A series of low ebb scores, confidence stricken mannerisms at the crease and his obscenity to quit Hampshire earlier in the season citing how he wants to ply his rare county trade in London, hence ridding the time he would have normally of had to spend traveling to the south-coast for one or two times a campaign, at the most; have all contributed to a barren spell.

Despite Pietersen's obvious world class batting ability the way he cast aside Hampshire a few months ago meant he did not have a county club to fall back on to re-ignite any substance of form he has failed to show this summer.

The affect of not allowing himself the chance to build a repetitive nature of innings due to Hampshire Chairman Rod Bransgrove's rightful and forceful message of intent deciding against recalling Pietersen at the expense of an emergence of young Rose Bowl talent put the South Africa born player in a position where he duly paid for his childish actions.

Whatever you say about Pietersen, his importance this winter against Australia is unquestioned. The acknowledgment of two Ashes hundreds in his repertoire and a fortunate chance to massage his damaged ego and confidence with a loan spell at Surrey, where he makes his debut today allowing him to meet his London desires at the Brit Oval can surely only bode well.

With four games available for the 30 year old to return to form, its mental adversary Pietersen has to conquer rather than technical flaws as he bids to restart the batting flamboyance which once saw him dominate opposition attacks.

Now though, it is over to Pietersen. The batter, needs to banish the negativity surrounding him of late and focus on cricket, letting the gift he was given to do the talking, instead of his over-zealous media interaction.

Come the first Ashes Test in Brisbane in November, it appears set and stone Pietersen's name will be entrenched in England's line-up but from now until then the on loan Surrey batsman has a poignant point to prove.
