Top 10 most charitable cricketers of the world

4. Steve Waugh

Steve Waugh is perhaps one of the best Australian captains to have ever played the game. Not only as captain, Waugh did well with the bat too. He was among the top batsmen during his time. Be it Tests or ODIs, the older Waugh brother was at the top of his game most of the time.

His illustrious career lasted for nearly two decades. However, when he met Mother Teresa, his perspective of life changed. He believed a lot in giving back to the society and contributing in noble causes. Waugh has helped leprosy patients in Kolkata in the past.

At the moment, he runs the Steve Waugh Foundation. The organisation strives to help children and families affected by rare diseases. The official website defines rare disease as, “The rare disease patient is the orphan of the health system, often without diagnosis, without treatment, and therefore, without reason to hope.”
