The T20 World Cup 2024 will begin from June 1. However, before that teams will be locking horns with each other in the warmup games. The Nassau County International Cricket Stadium will see India playing the first match at the ground and it is expected that there will be a massive crowd.

T20 USA CEO Brett Jones talked about the opening of the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York and stated that they are pleased to announce an opportunity for local residents to see it first-hand. He stated:

"We’re pleased to be able to open this warm-up match to the public, and especially glad to be able to provide another opportunity for local residents to see first-hand what’s happening in their backyard.

"Importantly, tickets and/or hospitality remain available for every match at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium and we’d encourage fans to get them while they can to ensure we have a full venue while hosting these incredible athletes from all over the world."

The Nassau County International Cricket Stadium has a capacity for 34000 people and it will have four drop-in pitches as well which ICC has brought from Australia.
