Tigers to play T20 WC warm-ups against USA and India
Bangladesh are scheduled to play two T20 World Cup warm-up matches against USA and India on May 28 and June 1, respectively, before taking on Sri Lanka in their opening tournament fixture on June 8 in Dallas, USA.
Najmul Hossain Shanto's side will take on the USA at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, the venue for the Tigers' match against Sri Lanka, following a three-match T20I series against the co-hosts running from May 21 to May 25 before they face off against India to complete their World Cup build-up. While the ICC confirmed that the second warm-up game will take place in the USA, the time and venue for the contest are yet to be announced.

The Tigers left the country in the early hours of Thursday and landed at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, USA on Friday.
A total of 17 teams will play the warm-up games, including South Africa, who are playing an intra-squad on the 29th in Florida.
These warm-up fixtures will be 20 overs per side and will not have international T20 status, allowing teams to field all members of their 15-player squad.
