Sydney, January 21

Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar and West Indies bowling great Courtney Walsh will coach the star-studded Ricky Ponting XI and Shane Warne XI teams in a charity cricket match organised to raise funds for Australia’s bushfire victims.

The match, named Bushfire Cricket Bash, will be held on February 8. The profits and funds raised from the match will go to the Australian Red Cross. The match is one of three headline acts on cricket’s day of giving, The Big Appeal. The other two events are a women’s tri-series T20I clash between India and Australia and the final of the Big Bash.

Tendulkar and Walsh will coach legends like Ricky Ponting, Shane Warne, Justin Langer, Adam Gilchrist, Brett Lee, Shane Watson, Alex Blackwell and Michael Clarke among others. Steve Waugh and Mel Jones will also be involved in the match in non-playing roles. — PTI
