the clash initially billed as Lara vs Tendulkar as the opening game has been changed to a Lara XI versus a World XI.
The batting genius who the stadium is named after will lead a team that includes the likes of Dwayne Bravo, Denesh Ramdin, Mervyn Dillon, Dinanath Ramnarine and young West Indies player Kirstan Kallicharan.
The World XI has in its ranks players of the calibre of Akram, Gilchrist, Curtly Ambrose, Desmond Haynes, Mahela Jayawardena and Darren Gough. Negotiations with other players were to be completed by last night to give them enough time to come in for the match.
