We are a booking agent for Ian Botham and can book Ian Botham to share his cricketing insights at your event. Ian Botham OBE is a former cricketer and cricket commentator for Sky Sports. In 2007, Ian Botham was knighted for his services to charity. From 1986 to 1988, Ian Botham held the world record for taking the most Test wickets. In 1980, Ian Botham became the second cricket player in Test history to complete a “match double” by taking 10 wickets and scoring 100 runs in the same match.

Finding His Path
Growing up in Cheshire and later Somerset, Ian Botham excelled in both football and cricket as a youth but found his true talents lay with the latter and decided on cricket as his sport. He first ventured into the professional field of cricket when he played for Somerset and made his first-class debut on the field in 1974 at only 18 years old. His passion for the sport was shown through his dedication on the field, once even refusing to leave the game despite the fact he was bleeding heavily from being hit in the mouth, he ultimately helped Somerset win. This earned him a Gold Award. His talents were soon recognised by the England team which led to him making his test debut in 1977, sparking the start of a successful and renowned international career.
