Sri Lanka, Bangladesh move warm-up game

Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have agreed to move their ICC World Twenty20 warm-up match to make it part of a more attractive two-game fixture to fans.

The switch means the match will be played on June 2 at Trent Bridge with England's warm-up against Scotland scheduled immediately after.

Organizers announced the change on Monday, with those fans who had already bought tickets to the original date now entitled to entrance to both games.

One ticket will now secure entrance to both games and supporters who have already bought tickets for the changed match day on Thursday 4 June will be offered a refund or free upgrade.

Commenting on the warm-up matches, Tournament Director Steve Elworthy said: “The ICC World Twenty20 warm-up matches promise to be just as exciting as the tournament schedule. The new double-header at Trent Bridge on 2 June will now be an action-packed day with Bangladesh meeting Sri Lanka and sporting rivals England taking on Scotland.”

The tournament starts on June 5 with England's match against the Netherlands at Lord's and concludes with the final at the same venue 16 days later.
