MS Dhoni 90 Tests from 2-12-2005 to 30-12-2014 in 9 yrs, 29 days
During this period just one domestic fc game - Irani Trophy in Sept 2008
Pietersen isn't one to take as a standard when it comes to playing County cricket. Most England players play one or two games a year at the start of the season. Nothing like the pre central contract days where if you weren't playing for England you were playing for your county.
