Pietersen confirmed his England career was over on Tuesday after it was announced he would not be in the squads for the tour of the Caribbean and the ICC World Twenty20.
The ECB had been at great pains to make only the most careful public comment about the reasons for Pietersen's dismissal, prompting calls for transparency including from former England captains Ian Botham and Michael Vaughan.
And a statement issued jointly by the ECB and the Professional Cricketers' Association on Sunday evening read: "The ECB recognises the significant contribution Kevin has made to England teams over the last decade. He has played some of the finest innings ever produced by an England batsman.
"However, the England team needs to rebuild after the whitewash in Australia. To do that we must invest in our captain Alastair Cook and we must support him in creating a culture in which we can be confident he will have the full support of all players, with everyone pulling in the same direction and able to trust each other.
"It is for those reasons that we have decided to move on without Kevin Pietersen."
While seeking to bring clarity, the ECB statement raises further questions about the whole episode, with further speculation inevitable regarding the reasons for the organisation's lack of trust in Pietersen.
Specific details were conspicuous by their absence in the statement, which acknowledged "both parties remain bound by confidentiality provisions".
Pietersen, though, certainly has a history of clashing with authority figures in the England set-up.
He successfully lobbied in January 2009 for the removal of then coach Peter Moores, which also cost him his own position as captain.

An independentstudy of sex trafficking victims has shed some light on the murky world of the unregulated sex trade here.
It found that victims from the Philippines were lured to Singapore by friends and acquaintances on the pretext of jobs such as waitressing and hostessing, before ending up in nightclubs.
Some Indonesian victims, meanwhile, were already prostitutes in Batam before coming here to ply their trade on the streets and budget hotels, under the watchful eyes of local pimps.
The 144-page study, released last week, was conducted by Singapore-based academic Sallie Yea, an assistant professor of geography at the National Institute of Education, who interviewed 87 women tricked into coming to Singapore.
Slightly more sex trafficking reports last year
THE police received 53 sex trafficking reports last year, up slightly from 52 in 2012 and 43 in 2011.
While the rest are still under investigation, five have been dealt with in court.
One of them involved a 17-year-old from China, who was beaten and drugged before being brought here last May to work as a prostitute.
The minor was made to serve 150 clients in 15 days.
Her pimp from China, 37-year-old Tang Huisheng, was sentenced to six years in jail last October.

A new study sheds light on the mutations that control the color variations among rock pigeons.
The next time you spot a red pigeon, don't worry. It probably wasn't spray-painted. It's in the bird's genes.

In a paper titled"Epistatic and Combinatorial Effects of Pigmentary Gene Mutations in the Domestic Pigeon"published this week in the journal Current Biology, a group of researchers from University of Utah say they have managed to crack the genetic code behind color variations among pigeons. The researchers identified mutations in three key genes Tyrp1, Sox10, and Slc45a2 that determine feather color in domestic rock pigeons.
"We were interested in understanding DNA level changes that give birth to specific traits among pigeons like, color of feathers," Michael Shapiro, associate professor of biology and senior author of the study told the Monitor.
The Tyrp1 gene produces an enzyme responsible for the synthesis of melanin and different forms of this gene that make pigeons blue-black (the grayish color of common city pigeons), ash-red, and brown, Dr. Shapiro said.
And mutations in another gene, named Sox10, make pigeons red irrespective of what other genes do. When Sox10, a recessive gene, mutates, it suppresses the Tyrp1gene, resulting in a bird with a really rich red color, he adds.
"You drop the baton and the orchestra doesn't play, " he says. "That is exactly what mutation in Sox10 does."
Sox10 is an example of an epistatic gene, one that obscures the effects of another gene.

Washington, Feb. 8 : Researchers have now sheds light on the role of genes and blood lipid levels in cardiovascular health.
Newer tools for gene analysis show how variations in DNA are underlying actors affecting heart diseasea"a major worldwide cause of death and disability.
Geneticist Brendan J. Keating, D. Phil., of The Center for Applied Genomics at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and his colleagues, working in large international collaborative groups, are wielding advanced gene-analysis tools to uncover important clues to heart disease.
The study team used a recently developed epidemiology tool called Mendelian randomization (MR).
The researchers analyzed DNA data from 17 studies including over 60,000 individuals, of whom more than 12,000 had experienced coronary heart disease, including heart attacks. Because previous studies had found signals from nearly 200 genes to be associated with blood lipid levels, the study team aggregated data into composite groups, called allele scores, for each of three blood lipids: LDL, HDL and triglycerides, then calculated their relationship to coronary heart disease.
As expected, the current study confirmed that higher levels of LDL, the "bad cholesterol," were more likely to cause heart disease. But there were new results: high levels of triglyceride also caused higher risk of heart disease. At the same time, there was little evidence that higher levels of HDL, the "good cholesterol," had a protective effect.
The study has been published in the European Heart Journal.
