The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced a packed 16-game schedule of the warm-up matches ahead of the Men's T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and the USA. A total of 17 teams out of the 20 participating will be playing the warm-up matches with England, Pakistan and New Zealand set to skip. Since England and Pakistan will be involved in a four-match T20 series in the UK, those two teams will get ample practice ahead of the tournament while New Zealand coach Gary Stead attributed not playing a warm-up game to the travel time to the Americas.
