Brian Lara and Muttiah Muralitharan are two of a host of leading players from around the world who have confirmed their availability for a charity game against the touring Pakistani side on July 10 at The Oval. The Twenty20 game, organised to raise funds for the victims of last October's earthquake which struck northern territories of Pakistan, includes players from seven Test-playing nations.

"It's fantastic to have such strong support from all of these magnificent cricketers," Paul Sheldon, Surrey's chief executive commented. "The likes of Lara and Muralitharan are huge draw cards, worth the admission prices alone, so we're expecting a big crowd to come along and watch what should be a hugely entertaining match."

Approximately 10,000 tickets have already been sold for the match, and are available at Surrey's website for £20.

The match will raise money for the Oval Cricket Relief Trust, which last year raised over £1 million for victims of the Tsunami.

International XI team confirmed to play in the match:

Rahul Dravid (capt), Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), Brian Lara, Muttiah Muralitharan, Makhaya Ntini, Azhar Mahmood, Chris Cairns, Andrew Hall, Darren Gough, Mohammad Akram
