Tendulkar will lead a MCC side while Lara has been named as the captain of the International XI.

Tendulkar and Lara will have a host of talent to pick from on June 14th with Shane Warne, Muttiah Muralitharan, Stephen Fleming, Graeme Smith and Andy Flower all agreeing to play so far and with the organizers eager for more to follow.
