Indian cricket team will be in action for the first time ahead of ICC T20 World Cup 2024, when they lock horns with Bangladesh in their only warm-up match at newly-built Nassau County Ground in New York on June 1 (Saturday).
The warm-up game against Bangladesh will provide Rohit Sharma's men a chance to get used to the conditions before their T20 World Cup opener against Ireland on June 5 in New York.
The IND vs BAN warm-up game is important from India's perspective given their matches will start in ICC T20 World Cup 2024 at 10.30 AM local time (8 PM Indian Standard Time) and the Indian stars need to get used to day-time matches after playing under lights in the IPL for the last two months.
New York weather forecast on June 1

Meanwhile, it still needs to be confirmed whether India's premier batter Virat Kohli has joined the squad in New York or not. With India's first match scheduled to take on June 5, Kohli in all likelihood, will miss the India vs Bangladesh practice game on Saturday.
Bangladesh team news
Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto would not have forgotten Bangladesh's shocking series defeat against the USA a few days back.
The United States, largely constituted by expat players, scored a stunning 2-1 win over Bangladesh in a three-match T20I series at home last week, signalling that they are no mere pushovers.
Hence, Shanto might be hoping for a quick turnaround against formidable India, even though it's a warm-up match at this scenic stadium, which will also host India vs Pakistan match on June 9.
