Kevin Pietersen 'arrested'!

He was joking and so are we!

Former England captain Kevin Pietersen jokingly posed with police officers after a night out with friends.

Pietersen has posted a mock image of him being 'arrested' on his twitter handle and have been receiving hilarious retweets.

The 34-year-old has recently signed for Surrey in a bid to boost his chances of an England recall.

Pietersen, bidding to return to the international scene after being sacked last year, will be available for all forms of cricket, starting with Surrey's opening county championship fixture on April 19.

Former Australia batsman Adam Gilchrist along with the police officers can be seen laughing in the photo.
