ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Starts!
ICC stated “In a departure from the previous cycle, teams can now choose to play up to two warm-up matches, depending on their arrival time at the event. These warm-up fixtures will be 20 overs per side and will not have international T20 status, allowing teams to field all members of their 15-player squad.”
It will be a good opportunity for every team to test their combination and determine their best team for the tournament. It will also give the players a much-needed match to avoid all that rust.
India will play their warm-up match against Bangladesh on June 1. The whole Indian team will reach the USA by the end of May after IPL 2024. While the other half will leave as soon as the group stages are over.
Interesting Matches!
There are some notable matches in the warm-up fixtures. One of them will be West Indies Vs Australia on May 30. Sri Lanka will face Ireland and Netherlands in warm-up matches and both of these fixtures can be interesting.
