In fact, Ian Botham and Merv Hughes went on a four-day fishing trip in Australia's Northern Territory. According to the report, Ian was crossing part of the river to reach the boat when his slipper got caught in the rope and he fell into the Moyle River.
It is being said on social media that this is a photo of an injured Ian Botham.
River Moyle full of crocodiles When 68-year-old Ian fell into the river, he was surrounded by crocodiles and bull sharks. But luckily Ian Botham was pulled out of the water by his friend Merv Hughes before he was attacked by crocodiles and bull sharks. Ian Botham was only injured on the body.
Describing the incident later, the former all-rounder said, 'I came out before it went into the water. I don't have time to think about what's in the water? It all happened very quickly and I'm fine now.'
Botham's life was saved by former Australian fast bowler Merv Hughes. They both are a good friend.
Botham is fond of fishing Ian Botham has been fond of river fishing since a young age. He has been doing this throughout his cricketing career as well. In an interview given to 'The Guardian', Ian Botham said, 'Fishing is my biggest hobby more than shooting or golf. Fly-fishing fascinates me.'
