Kevin Pietersen has failed to make the England squad for the Twenty20 World Cup which gets underway next month in Sri Lanka.
The 32-year-old was not named in the Test side for the third and final Test with South Africa last week following the texting saga which has dominated the headlines over recent days.
Having lost the series and their place at the top of the world Test rankings, England are now preparing for the one-day series with the Proteas before the t20 squad heads out to the subcontinent.
T20 captain Stuart Broad has been rested for the one dayers with South Africa according to national selector Geoff Miller, who has also revealed that Pietersen?s future with England in all forms of the game hangs in the balance.
He said: "Kevin Pietersen's future involvement is still being determined.
"He was therefore not considered for selection in either squad.
"Stuart Broad has an important period coming up leading our T20 side and with a three match series followed closely by the ICC World T20 we feel a two week break from cricket is in the best interests of both Stuart and the team.?
England squad for ICC World T20: Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire) (captain), Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire), Ravi Bopara (Essex), Tim Bresnan (Yorkshire), Danny Briggs (Hampshire), Jos Buttler (Somerset), Jade Dernbach (Surrey), Steven Finn (Middlesex), Alex Hales (Nottinghamshire), Craig Kieswetter (Somerset), Michael Lumb, Nottinghamshire), Eoin Morgan (Middlesex), Samit Patel (Nottinghamshire), Graeme Swann (Nottinghamshire), Luke Wright (Sussex)
