Indian cricket team practices ahead of T20 World Cup 2024 warm-up match against Bangladesh

new york [US]Ahead of the warm-up match against Bangladesh for the much-awaited ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 to be held in the United States and West Indies, the Indian cricket team was seen practicing at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on Friday.

Footage from the Nassau Cricket Stadium showed the Men in Blue in the practice nets, with players like Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh and Avesh Khan bowling in the nets.

India will begin their T20 World Cup campaign against Ireland on June 5 at the newly constructed Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.

Meanwhile, the most anticipated clash between India and Pakistan will be played on June 9. India will then take on the tournament's co-hosts, the United States and Canada, to conclude their Group A matches.

With this tournament, India will be looking to end their drought of winning an ICC trophy since winning the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013. Since then, India have reached the 50-over World Cup final in 2023, the semi-finals in 2015 and 2019, the ICC World Test Championship title races in 2021 and 2023, the T20 World Cup final in 2014 and the semi-finals in 2016 and 2022 but have failed to win the big ICC trophy.

India are aiming to win their first T20 World Cup since winning the inaugural tournament in South Africa in 2007. In the last tournament, held in Australia in 2022, India lost by 10 wickets to England in the semi-finals.
