India-Bangladesh India to face Bangladesh challenge in warm-up match on June 1 ahead of T20 World Cup
India will play Bangladesh in their only warm-up match ahead of the T20 World Cup on June 1.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the schedule of warm-up matches on Thursday.
Matches are scheduled to be played from Monday 27 May to Saturday 1 June across the USA and at two venues in Trinidad and Tobago in the West Indies.
The venues to host the 16 warm up matches are the Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium, Grand Prairie, Texas; Broward County Stadium, Broward County, Florida and Queen’s Park Oval and Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad and Tobago.
Warm-up fixtures will be 20 overs per side and will not carry international T20 status as teams will be allowed to field all members of their 15-player squad.
"In a change from the previous rights cycle, teams will now have the option of playing up to two warm-up matches depending on arrival time at the event," ICC said in a statement.
The West Indies against Australia fixture at Queen’s Park Oval, Trinidad and Tobago on Thursday 30 May will be open to fans, tickets will be available at tickets.t20worldcup.com or box offices located at the National Cricket Centre and Queen’s Park Oval from 16 May.
