Kevin Pietersen has come out of one-day retirement and committed himself to all cricket for England. Following days of speculation over his future, Pietersen reaffirmed his desire to play in all international formats whilst dropping his demand to be allowed to spend a full season at the IPL.

After a week in which the end of Pietersen's Test career appeared to be drawing near, due to differences with the England management and the dressing room, Pietersen has released a video retracting his previous complaints.

"I want to commit to all forms of cricket for England because I love playing for England," Pietersen said.

"Money is not everything to me. I love winning for England. I loved the runs I scored at Headingley. I can't wait to play in Straussy's 100th Test next week. These things make me happy."

"I've realised I can be happy, how much I love playing for England," he said. "I've realised the last three or four days would be a sad way to go. The stubbornness I've got sometimes, which is not a good thing, has led me to trying to believe myself for too long. I've got to a point now where I've gone, 'Play for England it's what you love'.

On his previously expressed wish to play a full season at the IPL, he said: "I've taken that all back, I've had a very constructive conversation with the owner of the Delhi Daredevils ... I won't be playing the full IPL, I'll come back to play the Tests against New Zealand."
