Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne will ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, world’s largest stock exchange, on Friday.
The cricketing legends are in the United States as captains of an inaugural all-star line-up of 28 cricket legends from across the world for the first ever 'Cricket All Stars' series, which starts from November 7 at Citi Field in New York City.

Tendulkar and Warne will ring the opening bell at 9:30m New York time that will mark the start of the trading day.

The historic tour marks the first time Tendulkar and Warne will play on US soil.

The 'Cricket All-Stars', which will conclude on November 14 in Los Angeles, will kickstart with a gala evening.

Given that cricket is not a popular sport in America, it is the first time that cricketers will ring the ceremonial bell at the stock exchange.

"The reason for picking up a cricket bat again after retirement is to globalise cricket. That is a dream and vision Warne and I have. One day we would like the American (cricket) team also to participate in the World Cup. It would be a great moment. All cricketers have also been endorsing for having cricket in the Olympics. This is the beginning," said Tendulkar.
