Lord’s Cricket Ground, commonly known as the Home of Cricket, will be the stage for 22 cricket stars to showcase their skills in a 50-over game. The Marleybone Cricket Club (MCC) will take on a Rest of the World side led by Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne respectively.

The occasion:The match is a part of the bicentenary celebrations of Lord’s. The first match ever played on the historic ground was in June, 1814 between MCC and HertfordShire.Teams:Both teams include a mixture of stars from all over the world and even generations.

Hello! My name is Farhan Abro, and I'm based here in Islamabad. My journey in Pakistan's digital media really kicked off when I founded INCPak back in 2012. We built it from the ground up, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, to be a trusted voice for independent journalism. But while media is a big part of who I am, I'm also shaped by a fascinating mix of other passions. I'm deeply into automotive, which gives me a technical edge, but I also find my artistic expression through landscape photography and music. And I'm always diving into the exciting world of Artificial Intelligence. Bringing all these different worlds together the technical, the creative, the journalistic, and the entrepreneurial—it really colors how I see things and approach every project. It gives me a distinct perspective that I try to bring to everything I share
