The England and Wales Cricket Board's dossier on Kevin Pietersen's alleged behaviour during England's disastrous winter Ashes tour is understood to have been leaked.

Ahead of the release of his autobiography on Thursday, Pietersen has been severely critical of the ECB and the 'bullying culture' that he claims was in the England dressing room.

However, a document obtained by ESPN Cricinfo lists a number of misdemeanours committed by Pietersen that are thought to have contributed to the end of his international career.

It is alleged that Pietersen:

- Disobeyed orders from coach Andy Flower before the second Test in Adelaide by taking two of the younger members of the squad out for a late-night drinking session.

- Called his teammates "a bunch of useless c****" after he was bowled out during the fourth Test in Melbourne.

- Rejected a request from teammates to get Piers Morgan to stop criticising Alastair Cook on Twitter.

- Called coach Andy Flower "pathetic" during a heated meeting in Flower's hotel room - an incident that effectively ended the relationship between the pair.

- Would often be "deliberately disengaged" during team meetings by "looking out of the window, looking at his watch etc."

Pietersen is yet to comment on the contents of the alleged dossier, though he has questioned its existence in the past.
