The International Cricket Council (ICC) has revealed the much-anticipated warm-up match schedule for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. These preparatory games will take place from Mond⛎ay, May 27 t▨o Saturday, June 1, across various venues in the USA and the West Indies.
Venues and teams
The 16 warm-up matches will be hos🦋ted at the following locations:
- Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium, Texas
- Broward County Stadium, Florida
- Queen’s Park Oval, Trinidad and Tobago
- Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Trinidad and Tobago
A total of 17 teams will participate in these matches, including🔜 South Africa, which will conduct an intra-squad game on May 29 in Florida. These matches will not carry official T20 international status, allowing teams the flexibility to field all members of their 15-player squads.
Schedule highlights
Unlike previous editions, teams now have the option to play up to two warm-up matches based on their arrival time. As we reported earlier, India will participate in only one warm-up game, set for June 1 against Bangladesh. Meanwhile, Pakistan☂ and England will not engage in any warm-up fixtures as they will be engaging in a bilateral T20I series, which concludes on May 30.
