Help for Heroes Charity match date and schedule| Telecast info
International cricketers both current and former will play a charity T20 match on 17th September at the Kia Oval in London. The match will start at 1PM IST.
Players like MS Dhoni, Virender Sehwag, Shahid Afridi, Herschelle Gibbs and many others will participate in the noble cause which is being sponsored by the Old Mutual Wealth, the UK’s leading wealth manager.
MS Dhoni and Virender Sehwag will be part of the team called Help for Heroes XI which will be captained by former England Captain Andrew Strauss and will have players like Shahid Afridi, Damien Martyn, Darren Gough, Graeme Swann playing along side them.
The team is managed by great all-rounder Sir Ian Botham and the coach is yet to be decided.
“I am delighted to be joining so many cricketing superstars at the Kia Oval on Thursday September 17 and supporting such a worthy cause. I’ve always enjoyed playing cricket in England and I would urge all sports fans to support Help for Heroes on September 17 and watch some truly world class performers in action,” Dhoni, India’s ODI and T20 captain, said in an interview to Wisden India.
They will face the Rest of the World XI lead by fearless Kiwi Brendon McCullum and features the star-studded line up of Mahela Jayawardene, Matthew Hayden, Abdul Razzaq and Daniel Vettori.
The Rest of the World team is coached by South Africa’s Gary Kirsten and managed by former India captain, legendary Sunil Gavaskar.
Help for Heroes Cricket Club forms part of the Help for Heroes Sports Recovery Programme and is made up of wounded injured and sick military personnel and veterans from the British Armed Forces. A packed-out Kia Oval is a great way to show backing for these inspiring men and women. The day aims to be a sell out and raise money for the ongoing support of our wounded and their families.

Namasthe, Mr. Dhoni’s deed is the most compassionate and empathetic act any Indian sports celebrity could as a beacon of hope for humankind! God Bless Him!
I sincerely pray and hope the UK’s Sports celebrities also do something very similar for India! If they have already done that or doing that or planning to that God Bless them too!
Long Live The Manavtha Vadi!
The modern world is faced with grave challenges of more poverty, pollution, dirty politics, parasitic economies, misguided proselytizations/religious terrorism, adverse climate changes and Global warming. Let’s humbly meditate and introspect
“Do we, even now in 21st century, fight amongst ourselves and try tearing Mother Earth apart or we now vow to stitch a new garment of Peace for her?”
Let’s strengthen ties between all “human beings”(Manavtha Vadi) on earth and make the world feel like one big global village (Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam).Personally, I pray the imaginary walls fall between the different peoples of India and the entire world!
Please kindly forgive me if I said anything incorrect and wrong! Also due to time constraints, please kindly forgive my Indlish mistakes too! I will correct my Indlish mistakes as time permits!
