"This is a fantastic opportunity for the fans of the Indian team to come out and watch these flamboyant players, who bring both class and star to what I'm sure will be a memorable match at Lords,"Giles Clarke, the former ECB Chairman, said.



"People would remember Pandya's valiant 43-ball 76 against Pakistan in Champions Trophy final last year while Dinesh Karthik too has played test cricket at Lord's. He has been in terrific form and recently blasted 29 off 8 deliveries and sealed victory over Bangladesh in the final of Nidahas Trophy with a last-ball six,"

The swashbuckling left-hander had expressed his delight after named captain of World XI,"I'm delighted to captain ICC World XI at Lord's in May against the West Indies. The cricket family always comes together to support worthwhile causes and this one off T20I, featuring some of the best players in the world will be a great spectacle at the home of cricket. I'm sure that supporting public will come out in force and help raise money and awareness towards restoring parts of the Caribbean hit by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in September last year, which ripped throughout many communities in this beautiful part of the world," Morgan had said.
