Cricket Gossip - Kevin Pietersen to sign Melbourne Renegades


The chief of Melbourne Renegades is looking forward to sign England controversial batsman Kevin Pietersen for the KFC Twenty20 Big Bash League series.


Renegades boss Stuart Coventry said "I'd like to (meet Pietersen) but I think I would want to get an indication first about his availability before talking further."

"We have three places left on our list and one of them is for an international.

"If we can grab someone who stands up at the World Twenty20 that is our first priority, but now that Kevin Pietersen is back in the mix, there's no doubt we and the Sydney Sixers have been having some dialogue with his management.

"If he is available we'd love to grab him but there's a lot of curve balls in play at the moment, about his availability, whether he wants to come to Australia, whether he wants to come to Melbourne or Sydney."

Australia's domestic Twenty20 Big Bash League begins on December 7.
