Sri Lanka will play Bangladesh and Afghanistan in their official warm-up fixtures ahead of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup in India.
The official warm-up fixtures for all 10 teams at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 was announced yesterday. The matches will be held from 29 September to 3 October across three venues in India - Guwahati, Hyderabad and Thiruvananthapuram.
Both Sri Lanka’s matches will be played at Guwahati on 29 September against Bangladesh and on 3 October against Afghanistan.
As at previous ICC Cricket World Cup events, warm-up fixtures will be 50 overs per side, but will not carry ODI status as teams will be allowed to field all members of their 15-player squad in these matches.
The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 begins on 5 October when defending champions England face New Zealand in Ahmedabad, which will also be the venue for the final on 19 November.
