Brian Lara is coming out of retirement for a one-off Twenty20 match in August, as part of the 125th-anniversary celebrations for his old club, Warwickshire. Lara, whose explosive batting helped lift the County Championship in a memorable 1994 season, will be joined by Allan Donald and his former captain, Dermot Reeve, in a Warwickshire Greatest Ever XI against a PCA Masters XI at Edgbaston on 31 August.

“Playing at Edgbaston again is going to be a very special day - especially with all the guys that are making themselves available,” said Donald. "It will be quite something and will bring back memories of some of my greatest ever years with the club. I had a wonderful time at Warwickshire and I’m really looking forward to renewing some old rivalries and friendships. To play in front of the Edgbaston crowd once more will be a real honour.”
