Kevin Pietersen has joined England's white-ball coaching team as a "specialist mentor" in the build-up to next year's World Cup in southern Africa.
The former England captain will be part of Brendon McCullum's coaching group for the upcoming T20 and one-day international series at home to Sri Lanka later this month, as well as subsequent series.
The 50-over World Cup is being held in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia from October 2027.
Pietersen, 46, played 136 ODIs and 37 T20 matches for England, scoring more than 5,500 runs. He also scored 8,181 runs in his 104 Test matches.
The South Africa-born batter was also a divisive player, falling out with a number of players and coaches. His international career came to a bitter end after England suffered an Ashes whitewash in Australia in 2013/14.
England white-ball head coach McCullum said: "I've got immense respect for KP and what he's achieved in the game. He's had an amazing impact on English cricket, so for someone with his experience, knowledge and stature to want to play a role with this team is a fantastic result."
