Pietersen, who earlier ruled himself out from the IPL 2017, has mentioned that the huge money spent on Mills by RCB is a "SLAP" on the face of Test cricket.

"Another SLAP in Test crickets face yesterday! A T20 specialist becomes one of the current England team's richest players! [sic]," KP vent his frustration on Twitter on Tuesday.

"I coach lots of kids & I'm in touch with the youngsters. I got told recently I wasted 500days by playing 100Tests! [sic]," Pietersen replied to a Twitter user who enquired about his tweet.

The 36-year-old Englishman has mentioned that going by the recent trend, it is only money that cricketers will be playing for in the years to come. "There is no problem [of Mills going for that sum of money]. It's fantastic! But, it's all youngsters will strive for! That's my point!" said KP.

Pietersen, who has not played in any of the series that England have played since the 2013-14 Ashes in Australia, also added that the ICC should take steps at the earliest to revive Test cricket!
