Sri Lankan all-rounder Thisara Perera was included in the ICC World XI line-up for the fund-raising Twenty20 International against the West Indies at Lord's on May 31. The match is being organised to raise funds for stadia in the Caribbean which were damaged due to hurricanes last year.
The team, to be led by England's limited overs captain Eoin Morgan, includes Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik (both India), Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Malik (both Pakistan), Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal (both Bangladesh), Thisara Perera (Sri Lanka), Rashid Khan (Afghanistan) and Luke Ronchi and Mitchell McClenaghan (News Zealand).
The Windies, the reigning ICC World Twenty20 champions, are being led by Carlos Brathwaite. Chris Gayle, Marlon Samuels, Samuel Badree and Andre Russell are among the other leading players in the squad.
