Tendulkar commits to Oval charity match

Sachin Tendulkar has agreed to play for an Asia XI against an International XI in a Tsunami Relief charity game at The Oval on June 20.

"Sachin Tendulkar is the biggest name in world cricket and we are delighted to have him playing in the Twenty20 game," said Paul Sheldon, Surrey's CEO ."This provides a rare opportunity for cricket fans in England to see the great man play. We have already secured some of the biggest names in world cricket, and expect the game to be a sell out.

"To have Sachin's name on the team sheet will go a long way to helping us reach our target of raising over £1million for the Oval Cricket Relief Trust."

Tickets are available on www.surreycricket.com and by post.
