Kevin Pietersen
One of England's key performers in the victorious Ashes triumph in 2005, Kevin Pietersen was a revelation with the bat as he scored a century and three fifties in the series. Since then, he went onto become England's leading run-scorer in all formats before Alastair Cook broke his record earlier this year.
However towards the latter part of his international career, controversy followed him everywhere he went and he had a public falling out with the England side. While he may not have played for England since 2014 and looking increasingly likely to have played his final game, he is yet to announce his international retirement.
That hasn't stopped him from playing cricket, however, as he can be seen playing in domestic T20 tournaments around the world, from the Ram Slam T20 Challenge and Pakistan Super League to the Big Bash and the Indian Premier League, where he last played under the stewardship of Indian limited-overs captain MS Dhoni.
