Agent: Pietersen set for second IPL

Kevin Pietersen is likely to take advantage of a short window in the international calendar and play in the next Indian Premier League, according to his agent.

England's tour of the West Indies ends on April 3, 2009, which is a month before their next international commitments against Zimbabwe.

"Ultimately it will be up to (England coach) Peter Moores, but I think the ECB wants to appease the players," Pietersen's agent Adam Wheatley told The Times. "There is at least a window now, albeit a short one, so I think Kevin will be able to play in the IPL. He might only play one or two games next year, then maybe a bit more the year after."
