ICC T20 WC 2024: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced that there will be a number of warm-up games before the T20 World Cup 2024. On June 1, 2024 India will be playing their only practice match against Bangladesh. However, unlike England who are not going to have any warm-up games, the South African cricket team is scheduled for an intra-squad match at Broward County Stadium in Florida on May 28.
The matches take place between May 27 and June 1 covering the USA as well as two other venues in Trinidad and Tobago. The venues for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 warm-up matches include the Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium in Grand Prairie, Texas, Broward County Stadium in Broward County, Florida, Queen’s Park Oval and Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad and Tobago.
As for the format and rules, the warm-up fixtures will consist of 20 overs per side but won’t carry international T20 status. Teams are permitted to field all members of their 15-player squad. Notably, teams now have the option of playing up to two warm-up matches, a departure from previous cycles, contingent upon their arrival time at the event.
