An autographed bat, also to be presented by the team, will greatly assist fund raising for Save the Children Australia's Bangladesh Appeal. The appeal was launched on September 7, in response to floods that ravaged three quarter of Bangladesh and lasted for more than two months.

National director of Save the Children Australia Wendy Rose said the contribution of the Australian team and Australian Cricket Board would mean a great deal both to the children taking part and to the Bangladeshi people for whom Save the Children is raising emergency relief fund.

The children to meet the team Tuesday are all from children's clubs which now have 13,000 members, promotes children's rights, support the development and growth of children and through activities such as cricket and Bangladeshi traditional games (Ha-du-do, Daria banda etc) gives them a chance to enjoy simple childhood experience.

Save the Children Australia's flood response has so far provided emergency food relief, healthcare to 1,200 families, vegetable seeds and seedlings to 13,000 families.
