Makers of 'Patiala House' have roped in a few former and current cricket players to feature with Akshay Kumar, essaying the role a pace bowler in the movie.

Producer Bhushan Kumar (of T-series) said director Nikhil Advani was very keen that the producers do justice to the script and that's when the idea to bring in cricketers clicked.

Former and current cricketers like Nasir Hussain, Brendon McCullum, Herschelle Gibbs, Kieron Pollard, Andrew Symonds, Kamran Akmal, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Graham Gooch, Wasim Akram, Matthew Hayden are part of the matches in the film featuring the 44-year-old Bollywood star.

"In the film, Akshay is playing for England and it is the World Cup that they are playing for. So it needed to have a lot of known faces to be seen with Akshay.
