Pakistan duo Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Malik have joined Sri Lanka's Thisara Perera are in line to play in next month's Hurricane Relief T20 Challenge match, at Lord's.

The trio will line up for the ICC World XI in a T20I against the Windies to be played at Lord's on May 31, proceeds from which will be put towards stadia in the Caribbean that were badly damaged following Hurricanes Irma and Maria last year.

The three World T20 winners are part of a squad led by England's white-ball captain Eoin Morgan - up against a Windies side led by Carlos Brathwaite.

Afridi told the official Lord's website: "I am humbled to have been selected for such a noble cause. Cricket is one big family and no matter how hard and tough we play against each other, there is tremendous comradery within the group.

"As such, it is our moral and professional obligation to stand up and support whenever and wherever we can, to assist our members, colleagues and cricket fans."

Malik added: "We have all heard of the damage caused by the two hurricanes in the West Indies last year and it is really good to see so many cricketers come together for the objective of raising funds to repair the damage to cricket venues.

Perera said: "The West Indies have contributed a lot to world cricket over the years and they deserve all support from our generation of players."
