England batsman Kevin Pietersen has been ruled out of the Cricket World Cup with a hernia operation which needs immediate attention, he said on Twitter on Monday.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed that the English cricket board had asked for a replacement but could not reveal who that was. The request was with the technical committee.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) had issued a statement on Saturday that Pietersen, 30, was suffering from a hernia but that it would be "managed" by medical staff for the duration of the World Cup which finishes in Mumbai on April 2.
