Indian duo Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik have been added to the ICC World XI side to face the West Indies at Lord’s this month.
The Twenty20 showcase is being held to raise funds for stadiums damaged by last year’s hurricanes in the Caribbean.
The World XI will be captained by England’s limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan and contains the likes of Rashid Khan, Shakib-al-Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Malik.
All-rounder Pandya and wicketkeeper-batsman Karthik have now signed up to join them.
The West Indies side will be lead by Carlos Brathwaite while England white-ball skipper Eoin Morgan will take charge for the ICC World XI.

“I am delighted to captain the 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,” Morgan had said earlier.
The Hurricane Relief T20I clash will be held on May 31 with all funds going towards repairing cricket stadiums damaged by the multiple hurricanes that hit the Caribbean region last year.
