Kevin Pietersen: England batsman misses New Zealand games

Kevin Pietersen has not been named in England’s one-day and Twenty20 squads for the upcoming tour of New Zealand.

Pietersen, 32, has been left out by the national selectors as they look to better manage the workload of players.

James Anderson, Jonathan Trott and Graeme Swann return to the side after being rested for the ODI tour of India.

Stuart Broad is back to captain the Twenty20 team after a recent heel injury, while Joe Root will skipper the second-string Lions side in Australia.

Spinner Swann, rested from both limited-overs series against India, also misses the T20s in New Zealand.
