A host of present and former cricketers, including current India captain Virat Kohli, will participate in a charity programme for cancer patients on the historic 225th anniversary celebration of Calcutta Cricket and Football Club (CC&FC) here on November 18.


The programme will be held on the evening of the third day's play of the scheduled India-Sri Lanka Test here. The cricketers from the island nation have also been invited for the programme.


The entire proceeds of the event will go for the treatment of cancer-affected children, said former India opener Arun Lal, who himself battled jaw cancer but recovered after a 14-hour surgery.

"As of now, Kohli, Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri, K Srikkanth, VVS Laxman and Sourav Ganguly have confirmed their participation as CC&FC have also invited MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh. The players will share some interesting anecdotes and speeches and it will be full of entertainment," said Lal.
