The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has reportedly refuted a claim that said that a leaked document is a dossier on Kevin Pietersen's behavior during last winter's Ashes.

A five-page dossier published by Cricinfo supposedly listed incidents of misdemeanor committed by Pietersen on the tour, reported the BBC.

The ECB has since issued a statement saying that it was a private email relating to due diligence by lawyers concerning Pietersen's autobiography.

The dossier includes references to Pietersen's disagreements with former coach Andy Flower and team mate Graeme Swann. It also mentions a match-long silence between the player and the coach in Sydney.

Meanwhile, Pietersen termed the revelation "embarrassing" on Tuesday night and refused to comment.
