This marks the debut opportunity for cricket fans in the UK to experience live-streamed matches in the stadium.
“Fans will be able to watch the action on a big screen and enjoy the build-up as comedian and cricket commentator Aatif Nawaz takes to the stage alongside former India and Pakistan players,” the venue’s official statement read.
Edgbaston Chief Executive Stuart Cain, said: “We’re the only venue in the country to have been chosen by the ICC as a T20 World Cup Fan Zone location which is amazing.
“It’s an opportunity for our local communities to really feel part of the T20 World Cup experience and I’m sure it will be a fantastic occasion.
“Pakistan and India fans generated an electric atmosphere here in the 2019 Cricket World Cup and I’ve no doubt we can get close to replicating that in the Fan Zone.”
India and Pakistan have faced each other in international competitions only sporadically since cricket ties between the countries were suspended in 2013.
In the history of T20 World Cups, India have emerged victorious against Pakistan five times out of six encounters, including the memorable title-winning clash in 2007.
The upcoming match between the two rivals will take place for the first time this year at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on June 9th.
