New Delhi [India], May 17 (ANI): The warm-up matches for the ICC T20 World Cup will take place from May 27 to June 1 across the Caribbean and USA, with India playing their sole warm-up game against Bangladesh on the final day of fixtures.

The ICC T20 World Cup will take place in the West Indies and the USA from June 1 to June 29.

The venues hosting the 16 warm-up matches ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 include Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium in Texas, Broward County Stadium in Florida, Queen’s Park Oval and Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad and Tobago, as per the ICC.

A total of 17 teams play the warm-up games, including South Africa, who are playing an intra-squad on the 29th in Florida.
