Jack Wilshere and Kevin Pietersen involved in Twitter war over England nationality

Kevin Pietersen:
  He is a South African born English Cricketer.
  He has been Playing for England since 2004.

Jack Wilshere: 
 He is an English Football Player who plays for Arsenal Football Club.
Recentely he tweeted his account :
   "if  you are English and you play for England. The only people who should play for England are English people. If you live in England for five years it doesn’t make you English. You shouldn’t play … it doesn’t mean you can play for a country. If I went to Spain and lived there for five years I am not going to play for Spain.”"
Kevin Pietersen replied,

  interested to know how you define foreigner…? Would that include me, Strauss, Trott, Prior, Justin Rose,    Froome, Mo Farah?

To be clear, never said 'born in England' – I said English people should play for England.
