Sachin’s MCC to face Warne’s Rest of World

London: Sachin Tendulkar will be seen in cricketing gear once again when he leads the MCC team against the Shane Warne-led Rest of the World side at Lord’s in a one-day game on July 5 to mark the bicentenary celebrations of the historic club.
Tendulkar, who is an Honorary Member of the MCC since 2010, will lead a side that will also have fellow Indian batting great Rahul Dravid in his side.
The famous Tendulkar vs Warne rivalry will be revived for a day as the Aussie legend leads a team that will also have former South African captain Shaun Pollock in its ranks.
This is the second time Tendulkar will appear at Lord’s in such a fixture, having captained the Rest of the World side – scoring a majestic century in the process – in the Lady Diana Memorial Match in 1998.
“It is an honour to be asked to captain the MCC side in such a prestigious fixture, and I am delighted to accept it,” Tendulkar said in a statement.
“Lord’s is such a special place to play cricket and It will be a privilege to play at the Home of Cricket once again,” Tendulkar added. (PTI)
