Powerhouse English batsman Kevin Pietersen is reportedly interested in signing with a team for the second edition of the Big Bash League.

The charismatic England middle order batsman has been linked with the Melbourne Renegades and both Sydney franchises, the Thunder and Sixers.

Without a doubt gaining the signature of one of the world’s most explosive cricketers would not only be a coup for the lucky franchise, but it would give another boost to the BBL in its early years.

Despite the Englishman having taunted Australian cricket fans since the 2007 Ashes series in England, if he does sign up, Australian cricket fans will in general will be lucky to witness his talent over the Australian summer.

Cricket Australia is also interested in signing Pietersen up to and ambassadorial role similar to that of Shane Warne, to make it easier on the salary cap of his potential new team.

Who do you think he should play for in the BBL, Roarers?
