The number of countries represented at Trent Bridge's Weekend of Legends has increased to nine with the introduction of Indian international wicket-keeper Nayan Mongia.

The 31-year-old star has been drafted into the squad as a late replacement for South African Test stalwart Mark Boucher, who is unable to play after suffering a broken finger.

Mongia will line up in the Superkings of Cricket match on June 30 when Sir Richard Hadlee and Sir Garfield Sobers manage teams of current world stars.

This will be followed on Sunday July 1 by a World Cricket Masters challenge match between Graham Gooch¹s England and Allan Border¹s Australia.

Mongia is a veteran of 140 One-Day Internationals and has been a regular in the Indian international set-up since taking over from Kiran More in the mid-90s.

His inclusion adds another country to the list of those involved in the weekend which now includes; England, Australia, South Africa, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, West Indies, New Zealand and Sri Lanka.

Said event organiser Barbara Quinn: "We are delighted to have secured a replacement of the quality of Nayan to play in what promises to be a great match.

"While Mark's injury and subsequent late withdrawal was a blow, it is a measure of the event's standing that Nayan was so quick to agree to play in his place."

Adult tickets allowing entry to both games are still available and can be purchased for as little as £20. Bookings can be made on the Ticket Hotline 0870 168 8888.
