KENT wicketkeeper Geraint Jones will join an All-Star team captained by Shane Warne at the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes this weekend.

Jones replaces Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi, who is currently playing for his country against South Africa.

This is the first year an All-Star team is taking part in the annual tournament. Lining up alongside the former England wicketkeeper are Glenn McGrath, Brian Lara, Virender Sewag, Heath Streak, Craig McMillan and Anil Kumble.

The tournament features ten teams, divided into three groups.

Each group competes on a round robin basis to decide the last eight, playing five-over per side matches with all the five fielders bowling one over each.

Jones could face an England team - which has won the event four times - captained by Dominic Cork. Darren Gough, Mal Loye, Darren Maddy, Kabir Ali, Tim Bresnan and Glen Chapple complete the England squad.

The tournament takes place on Saturday and Sunday at the Kowloon Cricket Club.
