Reports suggest that the ICC has shared the schedule with cricket boards and broadcasters for feedback and approval. The final schedule is expected to be released soon.
Concerning the Pakistan-India match, discussions about a possible adjustment to June 8 have surfaced due to the time zone difference (New York being ten hours behind Pakistan). This proposed change aims to better accommodate viewers in Pakistan and India with a prime-time match.
The tournament is scheduled to take place in the United States and the West Indies from June 4 to June 30, featuring 20 teams divided into four groups.
