According to the report, the names of two teams are coming out, one is Bangladesh and the other is UAE. The UAE is not a part of the Champions Trophy.

Team India will play warm up matches from Bangladesh or UAE

It is being claimed in the reports that just before the start of the Champions Trophy, the Indian team will further strengthen their preparations by playing a practice match on UAE's soil. It is being told that India can face Bangladesh or UAE in warm up matches. But the date has not been decided yet.

Whom to fight with India's perspective?

Now if Team India faces UAE, then from one perspective it will not be good for Team India. Because the UAE is not part of the Champions Trophy. In such a situation, India will practice against such a team which is not playing the tournament, so it is not going to get any benefit. In such a situation, if India is in Bangladesh in a warm up match, it will be better, because both these teams will play their first match against each other in the Champions Trophy.

India-Bangladesh will clash on 20 February

In which team Team India will clash with the warm up match, it is not yet decided nor the date of this match has been fixed. However, India will start its campaign in the Champions Trophy against Bangladesh. Both teams will do two hands with each other on February 20 at the stadium in Dubai. Earlier, this tournament will begin on February 19. While the final match will be played on 9 March.
