The warm-up games for the ten teams in the 2023 ODI World Cup will be played between September 26 and October 3. Here is the England warm-up schedule, including are the practice fixtures list, match timings and venues.
Jos Buttler’s England will play two warm-up matches against India on September 30 and Bangladesh on October 2 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, India.
The defending champions have announced their 15-man World Cup squad. The latest addition to the squad is Harry Brook, who was not named in the previously announced provisional squad. He replaced Jason Roy, who was an integral part of the 2019 setup. Roy suffered a series of back spasms and did not play in the recently concluded four-match ODI series against New Zealand at home.
In Roy’s absence, Dawid Malan is almost certain to open the batting match against Jonny Bairstow.
England’s 15-man squad is accompanied by the only traveling reserve player, Jofra Archer, who will be included in the squad if he is fit and one of the main squad members is not. It is also possible to add.
Warm-up games serve as a prelude to the main event. All 10 teams will each play two practice games to hone their skills and get used to the conditions before the showcase event.
Guwahati, Hyderabad and Thiruvananthapuram are the three venues selected for the four-day preliminary matches. These matches will not give him ODI status as the team can include all 15 of his members in the team (11 of him to bat, 11 of him to bowl) to test his strength on the bench.
