Chris Cairns has arrived at court ahead of what might be his first day in the witness box at his trial in London.
The former New Zealand cricketing great is charged with one count of perjury and one of perverting the course of justice in relation to a 2012 libel case in which he stated that he had "never, ever cheated at cricket".
The Crown is likely to conclude its case on Tuesday, and Cairns is expected to be the first person to give evidence in his defence.
He arrived at court wearing dark jeans, an open shirt and a blazer.
South African bowler Andrew Hall, who played with Cairns in the Indian Cricket League's Chandigarh Lions side, is the next witness to be called by the Crown.
Hall is the latest in a long line of cricketing celebrities who have appeared with Black Caps skipper Brendon McCullum and former Australian captain Ricky Ponting among those who have already given evidence.
McCullum, along with former New Zealand teammate Lou Vincent, have previously told the trial at Southwark Crown Court that Cairns approached them while playing in India in 2008 to get them to fix games.
McCullum said he rejected the approach, but Vincent said he helped fix games with Cairns.
