by May 7th, 2018

The New Zealand duo Luke Ronchi and Mitchell McClenaghan have completed the World XI squad that will face the West Indies in the Hurricane Relief T20 challenge at Lord’s on May 31.

The charity fixture has been given international status, which means Ronchi makes a brief comeback, having announced his retirement from international cricket in June of last year.

The 37 year old now becomes the second wicketkeeper in the squad, behind India’s Dinesh Karthik.

The World XI, led by England’s Eoin Morgan, also includes the likes of Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Malik and Shakib Al Hasan. It’s completed by Tamim Iqbal, Hardik Pandya, Thisara Perera and Rashid Khan.

The West Indies will be led by Carlos Brathwaite and will include Chris Gayle, Marlon Samuels, Andre Russell and Evin Lewis.

The proceeds from the game will go towards the restoration of five cricket venues in the Caribbean that were damaged by the category 5 hurricanes Irma and Maria.
