With the conclusion of IPL 2024, the focus now shifts to the T20 World Cup and the warm-up matches are commencing today (May 27). The tournament proper will be played from June 1 but most of the participating teams will be involved in warm-up matches. However, unlike earlier ICC events, this time around, several teams - England, Pakistan and New Zealand won't be featuring in this exercise as the world body has given a leeway to the teams in this aspect.
While some of the teams are playing two warm-up games, India is one of the very few teams to take part only in the solitary clash before their tournament opener. Rohit Sharma and his men will be facing Bangladesh in their warm-up game at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. The match will start at 8 PM IST as both teams will look to finalise their combinations ahead of the T20 World Cup.
Several team India members reached New York along with support staff on Sunday (May 26) while remaining players who were involved in the playoffs and the final are set to join the squad soon. It is not yet known when exactly Virat Kohli will reach USA as he has reportedly taken the permission from the BCCI to join the squad late.
