Former Workington Comets rider Kyle Howarth is preparing for his testimonial event next month.
Now the Sheffield skipper Howarth has named Freddie Lindgren and Rory Schlein as the first two riders for the Rest of the World side.
They will take on the 2024 Tigers on Thursday, March 14 at Owlerton.
Howarth, 29, won the top-flight alongside Lindgren at Wolverhampton in 2016 before spending two-and-a-half seasons with Schlein at Monmore Green.
He said: “These were two of the first people I thought of for the opposition when I started planning my Testimonial and it means a lot that they’ve agreed to ride.
“Freddie is a rider that matures with age and it’s an honour to have him riding in my Testimonial meeting.
“We had some great times together riding for Wolverhampton including winning the league title.
“Rory is a great guy to have on your side in the pits. He wins races for fun and is so fast when he hits the front.
“We all thought he had retired from the sport a couple of years ago, but he is back and riding as good as ever.”
Manchester-born Howarth rode for the Comets from 2012 to 2015.
