India will play their first and only warm-up match against Bangladesh for the 2024 T-20 World Cup at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Saturday at 8.30pm (Bangladesh Time) on Saturday.
The match comes ahead of the Men in Blue's official start to this year's T20 World Cup with a showdown against Ireland at the same venue on June 5.
For the match against Bangladesh, skipper Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid would be aiming to get the balance of the team right, while also assessing the condition of the pitch.
Notably, India's star batsman Virat Kohli arrived in the US on Friday after staying back following the conclusion of the IPL 2024 season.
However, Kohli has missed three practice sessions so far, and his availability for the Bangladesh clash remains to be confirmed.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh, who are part of Group D of T20 World Cup, will make their first match against Sri Lanka at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Florida from June 8.
The match can be broadcasted live via the Star Sports network and can also watched live via the Disney+ Hotstar app and website.
