Kevin Pietersen has been omitted from England's limited overs series against Pakistan, with the England batsman announcing the news via Twitter.
Pietersen's announcement contained an expletive and was hastily deleted, but the England and Wales Cricket Board later confirmed he had been dropped.
The squad for the two Twenty20 matches and five one-day internationals will be announced on Tuesday at 1715 BST.
The series kicks off with a Twenty20 match in Durham on Friday.
Pietersen, who scored just 140 runs in six innings in the Test series against Pakistan, also said he had been signed by Surrey, a claim the county side refused to confirm.
Pietersen's message, or Tweet, was cut off halfway through the sentence, meaning how long he believed he would be spending at the club and which competitions he believed he would be playing in remained unclear.
Pietersen's outburst comes just days after the ECB issued a warning to players about Tweeting sensitive or offensive information.
Australia batsman Phillip Hughes was reprimanded for revealing that he had been left out of the side for the third Ashes Test at Edgbaston last summer, while Yorkshire players Tim Bresnan and Azeem Rafiq have both been censured after expletive-strewn Tweets.
