Think his franchise have the right to recall him should they reach the knockout stages.

. Should the Sunrisers reach the knockout stages of the IPL, which coincide with the first Test against New Zealand at Lord’s starting on 21 May, the franchise will recall him

As far as the CPL goes, it probably depends on how England get on against the West Indies and New Zealand. If KP scores big runs and one of the top order is struggling then I'd imagine he'd want to stay.

I wonder if any of the division 1 sides were interested in KP? Had he played in the top division and scored prolifically then the pressure for a recall would have been immense. If the powers that be are determined not to pick him the they could use runs scored in the second division as an excuse not to.

Realistically, all it takes is for the batters to play poorly v NZ, and then look like they can't handle the Aussie pace bowlers, and he could easily be back. If the batters in place do well in the next three series, it's definitely all over for KP.
