Why Pakistan, England, South Africa and New Zealand Are Not Playing Warm-up Matches?

Not all teams are playing warm-up matches before the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. England and Pakistan are not competing in any practice game as they are facing each other in a bilateral series, which will come to an end on May 30. South Africa won't take part in any warm-up match because they just finished a T20I assignment against the West Indies in the Caribbean, which they lost. The Proteas will have an intra-squad match in Florida. New Zealand had earlier opted out of any warm-up match before the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 match because of logistical issues of not having the full squad together before June 1, the date when the last batch of their players will arrive in the Caribbean for the tournament. USA vs BAN ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Warm-Up Match Cancelled As Tornadoes in Texas Destroy Giant Screen at Grand Prairie Stadium (Watch Video).
