Star Black Caps Jacob Oram, Kyle Mills and Tim Southee will travel to Canada next month for an exhibition Twenty20 match at Toronto's Rogers Centre – home of Major League Baseball's Blue Jays.

The final details are still being pieced together, but it's understood the trio will line up for an invitational World XI against an Asian XI on May 12.

Allrounder Oram confirmed last night he'd been approached and said he was "99.99 per cent" sure the one-off T20 would go ahead.

"I don't have my flights and logistical stuff sorted out yet," he said. "But basically, it's a one-off Twenty20 match in Toronto and an Asian XI will be taking on a World XI.

"It's taking place while the Indian Premier League is running so it will only include guys who aren't playing in the IPL. I imagine the Asian XI will probably be made up of Pakistanis and a few Sri Lankans and Bangladeshis."

Oram confirmed fellow Black Caps Southee and Mills had also been approached.

Along with the New Zealanders, advertisements in Canada have revealed former Sri Lankan international Sanath Jayasuriya, West Indies legend Brian Lara, Pakistan allrounder Shahid Afridi and veteran South African wicketkeeper Mark Boucher will play.

"Those two guys [Mills and Southee] have been approached as well and are keen," Oram said. "Basically, we are sitting at home and doing nothing, so any cricket at all would be nice. We're just waiting to get absolute confirmation."

The money on offer for the promotional fixture, Oram said, "wasn't in the same stratosphere" as the tens of thousands of dollars players can get in the IPL.

"I think it's part promotional and about taking the game to a minnow country but there will have to be benefits in it for the organisers and sponsors. I know they are looking to play it at the Rogers Centre, which is under a dome.

"It will be a pretty cool experience. There are contracts and it's not a cowboyish situation," Oram said.

The Rogers Centre has a retractable roof and seats just over 46,000 fans.

WRIGHT CONTRACT

Meanwhile, Black Caps coach John Wright is expected to decide within the next fortnight whether to re-sign with New Zealand Cricket.

It's understood Wright has an offer on the table that will take him through until the end of the 2015 Cricket World Cup.
