Rohit Sharma and his men already have a tight schedule ahead on their road to the ICC T20I World Cup 2022 and on Thursday, two more warmup games before the start of the prestigious tournament were added to India’s jam-packed schedule.
The Men in Blue however are likely to have no complaints as they will like to shore up as many practice matches as possible to prepare best for the T20I World Cup in Australia.
On Thursday the full schedule of warmup matches for all 16 teams participating in the World Cup was announced.

Rohit and Co will play two warmup matches against the reigning T20I champs and hosts Australia, as well as one against New Zealand.
That takes the total number of T20I matches that India will play before the World Cup to nine games, including the Asia Cup 2022 Super clash on Thursday against Afghanistan.
After the end of the Asia Cup, the Men in Blue will face off against Australia at home, for a three-match T20I series, followed by three T20Is against South Africa at home again.
