Indian Team Preparations for T20 World Cup 2024
Important news is coming out about the Indian team in the Twenty20 World Cup tournament. The T20 World Cup tournament will start in America and West Indies 5 days after the Indian Premier League 2024. Captain Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah are the first batch of Indian players who will reach America soon. Therefore, they will play in the India-Bangladesh warm-up match on June 1. But, along with Virat Kohli and Mohammed Siraj, Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Yuzvendra Chahal are also likely to miss the practice match.
Tight Schedule and Player Arrivals
There is a tiny gap between the IPL 2024 final and the Twenty20 World Cup, and thus the only practice match for the Indian team will be against Bangladesh on June 1. India’s first match of the series will be against Ireland on June 5. In such a situation, the players arriving late in America will not be able to get enough time for the Indian players to prepare for this match.

The first batch of Indian players will reach America at midnight on May 25. The stars who will not play in the IPL final will be in the starting line-up along with Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah. The second contingent from India will arrive in New York on May 28, giving them little time to acclimatize because of the time difference. Therefore, players entering America from the second batch are likely to get a rest.
Challenges and Strategic Decisions
If Virat and Siraj travel after the IPL, they will reach the US on May 29 and will have only two days to rest before the warm-up matches. In such a situation, the team management will decide not to play him in the practice match. There is a time difference of 9.5 hours between India and New York. The difference is the same for Sanju Samson, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
