Following the news that Kevin Pietersen has been dropped for England`s one day internationals and Twenty20 matches against Pakistan, Skybet have eased the price of KP to play in the first Ashes Test to 2/7 (from 1/14).

Pietersen will instead make his debut for Surrey tomorrow in their CB40 game against Worcestershire and it`s 5/6 for the South African-born English cricketer to score 33 or more runs (5/6 32 runs or fewer). 3/1 is on offer for Pietersen to be Surrey`s top batsman against the Royals and it`s 7/1 he silences his critics by scoring a century.

Skybet`s Tim Reynolds said: "Kevin Pietersen is a class act and it would be a major shock if he was left out of the first Ashes Test. He`s scored a total 232 runs in his last nine Test innings so a return to the county circuit will allow Pietersen to find his form again before England fly out to Australia."
