The ICC T20 World Cup will start from June 1 under the joint hosting of West Indies and America, in which the first match will be played between the US and Canada team on June 2 at 6 am Indian time. Team India will also play a warm-up match before the start of this mega event, in which according to reports, this match can be against the Bangladesh team which can be played in New York. However, no official announcement has been made by the ICC regarding the practice matches so far.
Indian team has to play three matches on the ground of New York
All the players of the Indian team announced for the T20 World Cup are playing in the 17th season of IPL, after which the players will be sent to participate in this mega event in 3 batches, in which the first batch can leave on 25th while the second on 26th May. At the same time, the players playing in the IPL final match will leave after this. The Indian team has to play the first three out of 4 matches of their group stage in the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. In such a situation, the Indian Board is trying to get this practice match with Bangladesh held in New York itself. At the same time, some teams are very unlikely to play warm-up matches before this mega event, including England and Pakistan teams, who will play a bilateral T20 series just before the World Cup, the last match of which will be played on May 30.
