As part of the preparations for the ICC World Cup, India will play New Zealand and Bangladesh in two official warm-up games on May 25 and 28 respectively at The Oval and Cardiff, the ICC announced on Thursday.
All 10 competing nations will play two official warm-up fixtures ahead of the tournament, which will take place at four venues across England and Wales.
The ticketing and broadcast information will be released in April.
The fixtures will be held over five days between May 24-28 and will be hosted at four of the official CWC19 tournament venues: Bristol County Ground, Cardiff Wales Stadium, Hampshire Bowl and The Oval.
Besides the high profile clash between India and New Zealand, there are a number of other crucial matches, including the one between hosts England and traditional rivals Australia, and Pakistan and Afghanistan.
According to the global governing body of the sport, the warm-up fixtures will be 50 over per side but will not carry official ODI status as the teams can field all members of their 15-man squad during the match.
