Kevin Pietersen Wiki Biography

Kevin Pietersen was born on the 27th June 1980, in Pietermaritzburg, Natal, South Africa and is a former English cricket player, having been the captain of the English cricket team from early August 2008 until early January 2009. Pietersen has been active in the professional sport since 1997.

How much is the net worth of Kevin Pietersen? It has been reported by authoritative sources that the outright size of his wealth is as much as $7.5 million, as of the data presented in the middle of 2017. Sport is the main source of Pietersen’s fortune.

To begin with, the boy was raised in Pietermaritzburg, but has been living in the UK since 2001.

Pietersen began his cricket career in South Africa, where he played from 1990 to 2000 as an off-spin bowler, then later as a batsman. In the winter of 2000, he played for a season with a low class English club, but the following year he switched to the English County Championship and played for Nottinghamshire. In 2005, he moved to Hampshire. After finishing the waiting period of four years, Pietersen was immediately called into the English national team. He played his first one day international against Zimbabwe in November 2004, and his first test match against Australia in July 2005. Since that time, he has mostly been a permanent player in the English national team. He achieved both the number of 1000 and 2000 runs in One Day Internationals with the least number of matches, and appeared at the top of the ranking list of the world’s best batsmen in One Day Internationals. In 2005, Pietersen was nominated as one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Year.

When the former captain of the national team Michael Vaughan gave-up the position, Pietersen was appointed the new captain. He lost this position, but not his place in the team, after only a few months due to a conflict with the coach of the English team, who was also released. In the middle of 2012, he no longer declared himself available for International Limited Over Games. On the basis of the nomination criteria of the English national team, his withdrawal from One Day International meant the end for the participation in the ICC World Twenty/20 Championship in 2012. In October 2012, after a dispute and his long term resignation from the national team, an agreement was reached between him and the ECB, where upon Pietersen was again taken into the national team and nominated for test selection to India, and played a big part in the following test series victory. In 2015, Andrew Strauss announced that Pietersen was again nominated for the Ashes series against Australia in the summer of 2015, but a medical examination found an Achilles tendon injury, which made it impossible for him to play. In 2016, he represented the team of Rising Pune in Super League, and afterwards he announced his retirement, having played 104 test matches, and 138 ODIs.

Finally, in the personal life of the former cricketer, he married Jessica Taylor, a member of the now defunct pop vocal group Liberty X, in the end of 2007. They have one child.
