The warm-up matches are scheduled to be played between September 28 and October 1. The 10 sides qualified for the event will participate in the practice fixtures, with each playing two matches.
The tournament was originally scheduled to be held in Bangladesh. However, the recent political turmoil in the country has led to its shift to the United Arab Emirates.
Dubai and Sharjah will now host the ninth edition of the tournament, which will feature 23 matches involving ten sides. The Dubai International Cricket Stadium and the Sharjah Cricket Stadium will be the two grounds where the matches will be played over 18 days.
