ICC announces warm-up schedule for T20 World Cup 2024

Islamabad: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has released the schedule for the T20 World Cup 2024 warm-up matches, set to take place from Monday, May 27 to Saturday, June 1 across various venues in the USA and Trinidad and Tobago.

The warm-up games will be hosted at the Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium in Texas, Broward County Stadium in Florida, Queen’s Park Oval, and Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad and Tobago.

Pakistan and England will not participate in the warm-up matches as they will be engaged in a critical four-match T20I series from May 22 to May 30.

Seventeen teams will compete in the warm-up fixtures, including South Africa, which will hold an intra-squad match on May 29 in Florida. These 20-over games will not carry official T20 international status, allowing teams to field all members of their 15-player squads.

Unlike previous tournaments, teams now have the option to play up to two warm-up matches, depending on their arrival time at the event. A notable fixture includes the clash between the West Indies and Australia at Queen’s Park Oval, Trinidad and Tobago on Thursday, May 30, which will be open to the public.
