The Indian cricket team is set to play their only warm-up game for the 2024 T20 World Cup against Bangladesh on Saturday at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. This match will mark India’s first international T20 game since their home series against Afghanistan in January before players joined their respective IPL 2024 campaigns.
India conducted two practice sessions ahead of the warm-up game and an optional training day on Friday, focusing on tail-end batting and Hardik Pandya’s intense bowling drills. Virat Kohli, however, missed the practice sessions, arriving in New York on Friday night after extending his break post-IPL 2024. It remains uncertain if Kohli will play in the warm-up match.
