“It is going to be a huge and special day. It’s nice to be part of it,” Ponting told reporters.
Spin great Warne congratulated Cricket Australia for the initiative and hoped to raise enough funds.
Other Australian cricketers to join the trio of Warne, Ponting and Gilchrist are Justin Langer, Brett Lee, Shane Watson, Alex Blackwell and Michael Clarke.
The legendary Steve Waugh will be involved in the game in a non-playing capacity.
