US-Bangladesh, England-Pakistan cricket matches washed out in blow to T20 World Cup prep

Bad weather forced the abandonments of the T20 matches between United States and Bangladesh outside Dallas and England vs. Pakistan in Cardiff, Wales, on Tuesday, denting the four teams’ preparations for the upcoming World Cup.

The U.S-Bangladesh game was scheduled for Grand Prairie Stadium, one of the three World Cup host venues in America. It was canceled “due to the conditions of the facilities following the adverse weather that has affected the area,” Bangladesh Cricket said.
