India's Sachin Tendulkar [Images] is to play in a Twenty20 match at The Oval in June for victims of the Asian tsunami, organisers said on Wednesday.
Tendulkar, India's highest run-scorer, will play in an Asia XI alongside team mates Rahul Dravid [Images], Anil Kumble [Images] and Harbhajan Singh [Images].
They take on an International XI that will include Shane Warne [Images], Brian Lara [Images], Shaun Pollock [Images], Heath Streak and Graham Thorpe.
Proceeds from the June 20 match will go largely to rebuilding lives from the tsunami disaster in Sri Lanka [Images].
