The Warne-led Rest of the World XI features Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Muttiah Muralithar-an, Adam Gilchrist, Kevin Pietersen and Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi. “First and foremost I’m hon-oured to have been asked to play in the MCC versus Rest of the World match,” Ajmal told Pakpassion.net.

“It should be a fantastic occasion fea-turing some of the greatest players in the history of the game.” “There

are many superstars in both teams and it will be brilliant to play alongside and against some of cricket’s legends and biggest names,” Ajmal said while adding that he along with his two teammates would also be serving as ambassa-dors for Pakistan come July 5. “We’ll be there to not only do our best on the field for our respective teams, but we are also at Lord’s as ambas-

sadors for Pakistan cricket.” The dashing Afridi echoed Ajmal’s words in an earlier statement. “Lord’s is always a wonderful place to play cricket and I’m really look-ing forward to going back there,” said Afridi in a MCC statement. “It’s going to be great to be involved in the Lord’s Bicentenary celebra-tions and I’d like to thank MCC for inviting me to take part in the game.

“There are plenty of great players on the team sheet for this match and I can’t wait to share a pitch with them again — especially in such an amazing setting.”

London, June 30: Top seed Novak Djokovic and defending champion Andy Murray get a crucial opportunity to strike decisive Wimbledon blows after Saturday’s rain washed away plans to play all fourth round matches on Monday.

With three men’s third round matches in the bottom half of the draw still to be com-pleted, only the last-16 top half -- where Djokovic and Murray are placed -- can be completed on Monday. That will leave rivals Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer to play their last-16 matches on Tuesday followed by possible quarterfinals on Wednesday. Djokovic, the 2011 champion and runner-up to Murray 12 months ago, takes on flamboyant French-man Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, a semifinalist in 2011 and 2012.

Djokovic has a 12-5 winning record over Tsonga, including the 2011 last-four at Wimbledon

as well as the quarter-finals of the 2012 Olympics which were also played at the All Eng-land Club. Tsonga’s last win over the Serb was four years ago in Australia. “I don’t fear anything. I expect him to serve well. I think that’s his advantage,” said Djokovic, the winner of six majors.

Murray has reached the last 16 for the seventh year in succession and has dropped just 19 games in three rounds, comfortably a personal best in his tournament history.

The third-seeded Murray plays Kevin Anderson, the first South African to make the fourth round for 14 years.

“He’s a big guy with a big game. He’s played some very good tennis this year. Prob-ably been his best year on the tour so far in terms of consis-tency. It will be tough,” said Murray who has a 1-1 record against Anderson. Murray

won in straight sets in the first round of the 2010 Austra-lian Open before Anderson hit back with a win at the 2011 Montreal Masters. In other last-16 clashes on Monday, France’s Jeremy Chardy plays Croatian 26th seed Marin Cilic, who is coached by 2001 champion Goran Ivanisevic. Bulgarian 11th seed Grigor Dimitrov faces Argentina’s Leonardo Mayer.

The third round matches between Stan Wawrinka and Denis Istomin and Feliciano Lopez’s tie with John Isner, held over from Saturday, will be played Monday. Simone Bolelli and Kei Nishikori will resume their third round clash in the final set with the winner facing Milos Raonic on Tuesday.
