Out-of-favour England batsman Kevin Pietersen made a blistering start to his first Caribbean Premier League appearance of the season on Monday.
The maverick batsman, who signed up a deal with the St Lucia Zouks after leaving Surrey, smacked a brisk 42 off 26 deliveries to help his side post a daunting target of 179-6 against Red Steel.
However, heavy rain forced the match to be called off during Red Steel's chase and both teams subsequently gained a point each, the Guardian reported.
The South African born batsman was given hopes of an international recall by ECB chairman Colin Graves on condition of scoring runs in county cricket, only for Andrew Strauss to say that Pietersen would not be selected because of trust issues.
Pietersen, a veteran of 104 Test and 136 one-day caps for England, has been out of the national squad since his central contract was cancelled by the ECB following the team's Ashes washout by Australia in 2014.
