Top 10 most charitable cricketers of the world
These are just 10 of them but there may be other ones who are putting in an effort to contribute to charity as well.
3. Ian Botham
Ian Botham is often remembered for his cricketing achievements, for the knighthood he obtained in 2007 and for all his contribution towards England cricket. However, he is also one of the most charitable cricketers in the world.
The former England all-rounder has built and contributed in charity through long-distance charity walks. Till date, he has led 12 such walks. He first started out in 1985 with a 900-mile trek from John o’ Groats to Land’s End. Hence, Botham has been pretty active in such activities. He has raised £12 million from charity and hence, leukaemia research has benefitted the most.
In fact, in 2003, he became the president of Leukemia Research, one of UK’s leading blood cancer charity. Hence, it was his efforts in charity as well as cricket that got him the knighthood and not only the latter.
