Will India play any warmup games before the WTC Final?
India will not play any warmup matches before facing Australia on June 7, instead, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided that the team will have intrasquad games to help them prepare for the fixture.
No warmup games have been planned due to India only having a full squad by June 1 which will leave it too late before they face the Aussies.
