The Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York will host the India vs Bangladesh warm-up match of the T20 World Cup 2024 as its first match. The Stadium will open its doors to the public for the first time on June 1, as confirmed by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Since the last few months, the International Cricket Council has been working hard to prepare the ground in New York for the T20 World Cup 2024. The stadium is now completed and will also host the blockbuster India vs Pakistan match.
The T20 World Cup 2024 will begin from June 1. However, before that, the teams will face each other in warm-up games. The Nassau County International Cricket Stadium will see India play the first match on the ground and a large crowd is expected.
T20 USA CEO Brett Jones spoke about the opening of the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York and said they are excited to announce an opportunity for local residents to see it firsthand. He stated:
“We are delighted to be able to open this warm-up match to the public and, above all, to be able to offer another opportunity for local residents to see first-hand what is happening in their backyard.
“It is important to note that tickets and/or hospitality remain available for every match at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium and we encourage fans to get them while they can to ensure we have a full venue as we welcome these incredible athletes from everyone”.
The Nassau County International Cricket Stadium has a capacity of 34,000 and will also feature four walk-in pitches that ICC has brought from Australia.
Warm-up matches for the 2024 T20 World Cup will be played between May 27 and June 1 in the US and at two venues in Trinidad and Tobago in the West Indies. The 16 warm-up matches will be played at Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium, Grand Prairie, Texas; Broward County Stadium, Broward County, Florida Queen’s Park Oval and Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad and Tobago.
