The organisers of Art Deco Weekend in Hawke's Bay are hosting world cricket legends for a special game as part of next year's event.

Hawke's Bay Tourism is holding in February a 'New Zealand versus the Rest of the World' 20/20 match to coincide with the ICC Cricket World Cup.

Confirmed players include Mark Greatbatch, Chris Harris and Dion Nash.

The game on February 25 will see players dressed in 1930s cricket attire.

Mark Greatbatch says he loves the concept.
