Watch: Kevin Pietersen says 'No' to playing PSL 2018 matches in Pakistan

Pakistan cricket board is betting on Pakistan Super League to get regular international cricket back in the country. While the league is being played in UAE right now, the last three matches of the PSL season 3 will be played in Pakistan. However, many of the big overseas players are still not ready to play in the country.

Former England captain Kevin Pietersen is one of them. 

Pietersen, who played a vital innings to guide Quetta Gladiators to a six-wicket victory against Misbah-ul Haq-led Islamabad United in their Pakistan Super League T20 match on Wednesday, said that he would not go to Pakistan to play if his team qualified for the last stage. 

Pietersen scored a 34-ball 48 to hand his team second win of the season. 

Pietersen was asked at the post-match conference whether he will go to Pakistan if Quetta Gladiators qualify. The former England cricketer didn't hesitate to say no.
