ICC Announces Warm-Up Schedule for Men’s T20 World Cup 2024

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced the schedule for the warm-up matches leading up to the Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.

The Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 warmup matches will be from May 27 to June 1 and feature 17 teams as they prepare for the highly anticipated tournament.

Notably, the 2007 champions, India, will participate in a single warm-up match against Bangladesh on June 1. The venue for this clash is yet to be determined. However, Pakistan, England, and New Zealand fans will not see their teams in these warm-up fixtures. Pakistan and England have opted to engage in a separate four-match T20I series from May 22 to May 30, providing them ample preparation before the commencement of the World Cup.

16 warm-up matches will occur across four locations: Queen’s Park Oval, Broward County Stadium in Florida, Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium in Texas, and Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad and Tobago. These matches will provide crucial practice opportunities for the teams, ensuring they are in top form as the tournament approaches.

The decision to include venues in the USA and Trinidad and Tobago highlights the ICC’s commitment to expanding cricket’s reach and bringing the sport to new and diverse audiences. The upcoming warm-up matches will offer thrilling encounters and a preview of the exciting competition in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.
