T20 World Cup warm-up match schedule released, India to face Bangladesh

The official warm-up match fixtures for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 have been announced. Matches are scheduled to be played from May 27 to June 1 across the USA and at two venues in Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean.

India will play only one warm-up match before the start of the tournament. The T20 World Cup will be held from June 2 to 29.

The venues to host the 16 warm-up matches are the Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium, Grand Prairie, Texas; Broward County Stadium, Broward County, Florida, and Queen’s Park Oval and Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad and Tobago.

Warm-up fixtures will be 20 overs per side and will not carry international T20 status as teams will be allowed to field all members of their 15-player squad. In a change from the previous rights cycle, teams will now have the option of playing up to two warm-up matches depending on arrival time at the event, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said.
