Kevin Pietersen ist ein pensionierter englischer Cricketspieler. Er wurde in Südafrika geboren und spielte zunächst auch Cricket für sie. Er war jedoch nicht zufrieden mit dem Quotensystem (Plätze, die schwarzen Menschen auf der Basis von Rassen vorbehalten waren) in Südafrika. Er erhielt auch einen Anruf von Clive Rice, um für den Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club zu spielen, den er akzeptierte. Da er englischer Abstammung ist, war er bereits berechtigt, für das englische Cricket-Team zu spielen, vorausgesetzt, er spielte zunächst 4 Jahre lang im englischen County Cricket.

Kevin Pietersen Facts
- While growing up, he played tennis, hockey, and squash apart from cricket. However, he couldn’t play rugby because of a forearm injury he had suffered at the age of 11.
- When he started his cricket career at the age of 17 with Natal’s B team, he was mostly considered as an off-spinner and a hard-hitting lower order batsman.

- Pietersen, who was frustrated with the South African quota system that asked club teams to include 4 black players in the team, got a call from Clive Rice to play for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club. He accepted the offer as he was also keen to play under the guidance of Rice.
- Although he scored a lot of runs for Nottinghamshire and got the attention of English National Selectors, his last season after the team was relegated was farcical as he wanted to be released from his contract but the management wasn’t keen. He even got into a public tiff with team captain Jason Gallian.
- During England’s tour of South Africa in 2004-05, Pietersen received a hostile reception from the local crowd, who considered him to be a traitor for having forsaken his native country.

- During a tour of South Africa in 2012, he was caught up in a controversy as it was revealed that he had shared derogatory text messages about captain Andrew Strauss and team coach Andy Flower with South African players.
- After the 2013-14 Ashes tour, he was dropped from the England squad because of his poor relationship with his teammates and his alleged toxic behavior. He was never picked again for the national team.
