Kevin Pietersen expects this summer's T20 Blast campaign with Surrey to be his last in English cricket.
The former Test star announced in March he had signed up for a Surrey return two years after he last played for the county in first-class cricket.
Pietersen has graced the world's top T20 tournaments in recent years but is planning to spend more time back in South Africa from next summer.
He said: "Next year I'm building a house in the Kruger national park so all of next summer I will be at my house in South Africa - so I won't be playing in England. I think this will be my last stint in England.
"Surrey have been so good to me, I was in there the other day doing a photoshoot with someone and it felt like I hadn't left the dressing room but I hadn't been there in 18 months.
"I go back training in a couple of weeks time and I can't wait, it is something I'm looking forward to, it is not a schlep, it is something I am really excited about."
Pietersen will available for Surrey's big Friday night fixtures against Middlesex on July 21 and Glamorgan on August 4 as well as the game against Sussex on Sunday, August 13, all of which are live on Sky Sports.
He will also be available if Surrey reach the knockout stages of the competition.
