Two sides led by legendary cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh will play a friendly T20 match in the One World One Family Cup on January 18, 2024. Here’s the full list of international players participating in the charity match.
The charity T20 match will be played at the Sai Krishnan Cricket Stadium in Muddenahalli, located on the outskirts of Bengaluru. Sunil Gavaskar will also grace the event as one of the chief guests.
The match is set to be held in support of a social cause. The One World One Family Cup, organised by the Shri Madhusudan Sai Global Humanitarian Mission, will aim to raise funds for the healthcare and education of the needy in more than 30 nations.
The veterans of the game from all over the world across generations will feature in this exhibition match. The likes of Harbhajan Singh, Irfan Pathan, RP Singh and Yusuf Pathan from India’s triumphant 2007 T20I World Cup squad will play alongside Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh.
Apart from them, Muttiah Muralidaran, owner of most international wickets (1,347), will join his Sri Lankan teammate Chaminda Vaas in the solitary fixture.

Tendulkar was seen preparing in the nets ahead of the charity match. His vintage straight drive and leg glance all seemed to be in perfect synergy while practising against throwdowns.
