Cricket: Tendulkar, Karthik in Masters line-up

Master batsman Sachin Tendulkar and India teammate Dinesh Karthik will play in tomorrow's International Masters Game Twenty20 cricket match in Wellington.

The fixture, between former internationals from New Zealand and Australia, will be the curtainraiser to the Twenty20 International between India and New Zealand.

Tendulkar and Karthik, who are not playing in India's Twenty20 squad, have been drafted into the New Zealand and Australian Masters teams after discussions with the New Zealand Cricket Players Association.

Tendulkar will turn out for the New Zealand Masters, while Karthik will wear Australian colours.

The International Masters Game starts at 2.30pm.
