ICC Men's Cricket World Cup warm-up matches 2023: Full schedule, squads, match timings and live-streaming details

After a four-year hiatus, the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup is all set to make its return in October 2023. This time, India is all set to host the 46-day cricketing carnival from October 5 to November 19. England will enter the competition as defending champions, having won the most thrilling World Cup final ever after beating New Zealand.

Before the 10 teams take against each other in the main event, the ICC has scheduled a total of 10 warm-up games, starting on Friday, September 29. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will lock horns in the first warm-up game.

The Men in Blue will take on world champions England and the Netherlands on September 30 and October 3, respectively.

Like previous mega events, warm-up matches will be a 50-over affair, but will not carry ODI status. All teams will be allowed to field the full 15-member squad in these warm-up games.

Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, and Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad will host the warm-up matches.

The World Cup 2023 is scheduled to start on October 5, with the defending champions England taking on New Zealand at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The same venue will also host the grand finale on November 19.
