Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne to play in Lord's celebration

India legend Sachin Tendulkar and ex-Australia bowler Shane Warne are to captain the Marylebone Cricket Club and Rest of the World respectively in a 50-over match at Lord's. The game is part of the ground's bicentenary celebrations on 5 July. The MCC will be managed by its president Mike Gatting and include Tendulkar's former India team-mate Rahul Dravid. Ex- South Africa skipper Shaun Pollock will oversee the Rest of the World. England Women's captain Charlotte Edwards will lead the women's MCC side against a Rest of the World team selected by the International Cricket Council on May 19. It will be the second time Tendulkar has appeared at Lord's in such a fixture, having captained the Rest of the World side in the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Match in 1998. Tendulkar, who scored a record 34,357 runs in 664 international matches, said: "Lord's is such a special place to play cricket and I am very much looking forward to help celebrate its bicentenary by taking part in this match." Warne, who took 19 wickets in four Tests at Lord's, said: "I'm really excited about coming back. I'm sure the match will be a lot of fun and it will be a pleasure to be part of the bicentenary celebrations of the most famous cricket ground in the world."
