The match, named the Friendship Cup, aims to raise more than 2.5 million pounds (3.7 million euros, 4.9 million dollars) for charities in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Britain.

Charles, the heir to the throne, came up with the idea as a way to commemorate India and Pakistan celebrating 60 years of independence from Britain.

The match, set for July 3 at the Citylets Titwood in Glasgow, was confirmed by the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI), the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), and Cricket Scotland.

"This will be an amazing occasion as both our nations have not met outside the World Cup or the ICC Trophy in the United Kingdom," said Lalit Modi, BCCI vice-president.
