The inspirational former New Zealand captain will team up with Australian master batsman Damien Martyn to appear for the All-Stars in the 10-team tournament.

“I'm delighted to be returning to Hong Kong to take part in the Cricket Sixes,” said Fleming, who played in the 1996 tournament.

“It has a great reputation for being fun and entertaining while at the same time offering two days of hard, competitive cricket.

“I know the All-Stars team finished as runners-up in 2007 and so we'll be aiming to go one better this year.

“It will be tough, because the organisers are putting together a top-class field of international teams, but I'm looking forward to the challenge."

Fleming, 35, retired from international cricket just two months ago after a stellar 14-year career in which he played 111 tests.

Fleming’s nine test centuries included scoring 274 not out against Sri Lanka in 2003 and 262 against South Africa in 2006.

He also holds the world record for the most ODI appearances as captain, having led the Kiwis 218 times in his total of 280 games.

Fleming and Martyn are the first star players to sign up for the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes – which is fully sanctioned by the International Cricket Council – at Kowloon Cricket Club from November 8-9.

The Hong Kong Cricket Sixes is the sport's longest-running, best-established and most high-profile sixes tournament.

Profits from the tournament are ploughed directly back into cricket development in Hong Kong through the Hong Kong Cricket Association.
