Rio Ferdinand will play alongside John Terry and Ashley Cole in a Great Britain and Ireland team captained by David Beckham for a charity match at Old Trafford next month.
The former Manchester United defender will take part in the November 14 game, which is in aid of UNICEF.
Ferdinand has had a strained relationship with his ex-England teammates after Terry was banned for racially abusing his brother Anton in 2011.
Cole testified on Terry's behalf in a trial relating to the same incident, and the Chelsea captain was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing.
The British team will be managed by ex-United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, while Carlo Ancelotti will take charge of a Rest of the World squad.
Great Britain and Ireland team: David Seaman, David James, Sol Campbell, John Terry, Phil Neville, Rio Ferdinand, Jamie Carragher, Ashley Cole, Nicky Butt, David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Michael Owen, Andy Cole
Rest of the World team: Edwin van der Saar, Cafu, Fabio Cannavaro, Alessandro Nesta, Patrick Vieira, Michael Ballack, Massimo Ambrosini, Robert Pires, Luis Figo, Ronaldinho, Zinedine Zidane, Dwight Yorke, Patrick Kluivert, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Landon Donovan
