Kevin PietersenFormer England Skipper and the highest paid in the IPL Kevin Pietersen is on double mind for Playing the IPL due to Security Reasons.
Kevin Pietersen will take his decision after consulting with Bangalore Royal Challengers. he will also take the advice from Wales Cricket Board officials before taking any final decision.
After the Final Test against West Indies Pietersen will talk to Bangalore Challenger, Pietersen was bought by the Royal Challengers for £1.1million last month.
Pietersen told the News that"Then I will be a lot clearer in my thoughts than I am now. Since the terror attacks in Mumbai we are all now more mindful of our own security arrangements.
"Hopefully the security will come right for India but if everybody pulls out of the IPL then it would be a disaster, a catastrophe, and world cricket would really be on a down.
"India is the force behind most of world cricket but there are things we have to go through before we go."
Pietersen further added on tour to Pakistan next February, Pietersen said I think, at the moment, it is unlikely people will be comfortable travelling there. It is very, very sad - I feel sorry for the Pakistan cricketers.
"I feel sorry for everybody in Pakistan but everybody thought sportsmen were safe, they thought cricketers were safe but obviously they are not.
"I am shocked, it is a tragedy and a catastrophe - not just in sport but in the world. I don't think anyone would want to travel to Pakistan at the moment."
