David Lloyd Refers Kevin Pietersen as the Best English Batsman He Has Ever Seen

Former England cricketer David Lloyd accredited Kevin Pietersen as the best English batsman he has ever seen.

Meanwhile, Pietersen called time on his playing career after playing his last match for Quetta Gladiators, as he will not travel to Pakistan for the knockout games of the Pakistan Super League.

Pietersen has had an illustrious career with England, scoring tons of runs for them. Also, he is England???s highest run-scorers combining all formats including 8181 runs in 104 Tests. He was left out of the team surprisingly in the wake of a disastrous 5-0 loss in the Ashes in 2013/14.
