Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid khan, the no.1 ranked T20I bowler, has been added to the World XI squad that will face the West Indies in a one-off T20 International at Lord’s on May 31.

The match is being organized to raise funds for the reconstruction of a number stadiums in the Caribbean that were damaged last year by Hurricanes Irma and Maria.

Rashid, currently in the IPL with Sunrisers Hyderabad, is joined by the Bangladesh pair of Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan.

The trio joins Sri Lanka all-rounder Thisara Perera and the Pakistani duo Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Malik on a World XI team that is being led by the England limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan.

The Windies squad, captained by Carlos Brathwaite, includes the likes of Chris Gayle, Marlon Samuels and spinner Samuel Badree.

The match will also mark the international return of Jamaican all-rounder Andre Russell following a year-long ban for a doping-code violation.

More names are expected to be added to the World XI squad in the coming days.
