The festival game has been arranged to help boost spirits in the local community after the disappointment of missing out on an HRV Cup game earlier this summer.
Alexandra was scrubbed from the itinerary when New Zealand Cricket withdrew the ground's warrant of fitness due to concerns over the delay in appointing a groundsman.
Otago Country board member Shayne O'Connor said the New Zealand Cricket Players Association had approached the organisation with the concept.
The twenty/20 game between Country and a Selection XI will start at 1.30pm and entry will be by gold coin donation.
Former New Zealand players confirmed to take part include Mark Greatbatch, Bryan Young, Roger Twose, Kerry Walmsley, Geoff Allott and the great Ewen Chatfield.
O'Connor, a former Black Caps left-armer, will also roll the arm over, while former Otago opener Andrew "Pumper" Hore, former Central Districts wicketkeeper Bevan Griggs, former Canterbury bowler Wade Cornelius and Country stalwart Lindsay Breen will also be involved.
O'Connor said one or two other guest players might also be enlisted.
The former Black Caps would also be available on the morning of the game for coaching sessions.
