Two of cricket's biggest names have landed in the Big Apple ahead of the first of three historic Cricket All Stars matches in the United States this month.

Shane Warne and Sachin Tendulkar were at Citi Field in New York on Monday for Game 5 of baseball's World Series between the New York Mets and the Kansas City Royals.

The pair will return to the venue in just six days’ time for the first of three All Stars matches, which are aimed to increase the popularity of the game in America.

Warne also posted an image on Instagram of the drop-in wicket for this weekend's match on its way to Citi Field.

Matthew Hayden, Ricky Ponting, VVS Laxman, Wasim Akram and Brian Lara are amongst the big names to sign up for the event.

The three Cricket All Stars matches will be broadcast on GEM and also available to watch in Australia via the Cricket Live App for Live Pass subscribers.
