Surrey have confirmed two star-studded teams for the Twenty20 tsunami fundraising match at The Oval on June 20, between an International XI and an Asian XI.
The International XI will be led by Brian Lara while Rahul Dravid will captain the Asian side. There is still one place to be filled in both teams and the final name will be announced shortly.
Shane Warne will line-up for the International XI, while the two finest offspinners in the world, Harbhajan Singh and Muttiah Muralitharan, are both in the Asian XI.
Eight of the 10 Test nations are represented - Graham Thorpe is the England player making an appearance - while Alec Stewart will manage the International XI and Wasim Raja, the former Pakistan batsman and match referee, is in charge of the Asian team.
The Surrey chief executive Paul Sheldon said: "This special game promises a feast of entertainment from many of the world's greatest international stars in front of a newly developed ground. It is a privilege to be hosting the match for such a worthwhile cause."
The match is raising money for the Oval Cricket Relief Turst, which has been set up with the intention of donating money to the rebuilding of a Sri Lanka village after the tsunami in December 2004.
Tickets are still available online at www.surreycricket.com for £20.
