Former England captain Michael Vaughan has criticised batsman Kevin Pietersen for announcing his axe from the national side on his Twitter page.
Pietersen included an expletive on his Twitter post after being dropped for the one-day series against Pakistan before quickly deleting his entry.
"What he did on his Twitter account was totally wrong," Vaughan told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"I think that's something Kevin will regret for a long time."
Pietersen will not figure for England as they play two Twenty20 internationals against Pakistan on Sunday and Tuesday ahead of five 50-over international matches from 10-22 September.

606: DEBATE

Instead, the out-of-form 30-year-old will play county cricket for Surrey after being loaned out by Hampshire, with the England selectors hoping he will rebuild his game and confidence before the winter Ashes series.
"I actually think that England have managed it in a good way," added Vaughan.
"They feel that he needs more cricket and a couple of four-day games rather than playing the one-day series against Pakistan just to get that form and feel for batting again.
"I don't see it as a dropping. I just see it as the management of a player who needs to be playing more of the longer format of the game than the one day to try to get him into some kind of form leading into the winter."
Meanwhile, Vaughan believes the limited over series between Engalnd and Pakistan should go ahead, despite the controversy of the betting scandal surrounding the tourists.
Vaughan added: "I'm sure there will elements of the crowd watching and wondering whether this one-day series against England should be going ahead but I do think it should."
