The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 warm-up matches were announced late because the ICC and the Bangladesh Cricket Board could not agree on some points. After many discussions, the ICC confirmed that 15 warm-up matches will be played before the tournament starts on February 9.

Bangladesh decided not to play matches in India. Because of this decision, the ICC removed Bangladesh from the warm-up games and added Scotland instead. Scotland got this chance because they were the highest-ranked team that had not qualified earlier. Since Scotland did not get much time to prepare and needed to adjust to Indian conditions, warm-up matches were important for them. Scotland will play two practice matches at the BCCI Centre of Excellence against Afghanistan and Namibia.

India Founded: 1926

The India National Cricket Team represents India in international cricket and is one of the strongest teams in the world.

Pakistan Founded: 1952

The Pakistan cricket team is known for producing some of the most fearsome fast bowlers in world cricket.

Sri Lanka Founded: 1975

The Sri Lanka National Cricket Team, known as the Lions, is a team that has made significant contributions to the game of cricket.

India are already playing a five-match T20I series against New Zealand, which is good preparation for the World Cup. Even so, India will play one warm-up match. They will play against South Africa on February 4 at the DY Patil Stadium. This match will be just three days before India’s first match against the USA.

The India A team will also help other teams with practice matches. India A will play against the USA on February 2 and Namibia on February 6. Sri Lanka A will play a warm-up match against Oman. Pakistan and New Zealand will also play one warm-up match each.

Teams like England, Australia, and Sri Lanka will not play any warm-up matches. These teams are busy with important series before the World Cup. England will play three T20I matches in Sri Lanka. Australia will tour Pakistan for a three-match T20I series starting on January 29.
