Sehwag and Shoaib to resume fiery rivalry on ice


Sehwag and Shoaib to resume fiery rivalry on ice

Erstwhile and ongoing cricketers Virender Sehwag, Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Kaif, Mahela Jayawardene, Lasith Malinga, Michael Hussey, Graeme Smith, Jacques Kallis, Daniel Vettori, Nathan McCullum, Grant Elliot, Monty Panesar and Owais Shah are all slated to play T20 matches in Switzerland next year.

Nevertheless, apart from it being played in Switzerland which is not the first country one associates with the game of cricket, this match comes with a twist. It will be played on ice.

ice cricket has been played in a resort in St Moritz, Switzerland since 1988 but this will be the first time that major stars will be gracing the field, or the ice. Players will use the classical cricketing gear including the red-ball but will wear sports shoes instead of spikes. The weather is reportedly expected to be nice and sunny during the day but the temperatures can dip to as low as -20 degree Celsius.
