What would Strange be doing in Wakanda? Let's assume you're saying he makes it out of the battle in New York with the time stone - what's the connection to Wakanda from there? I mean, what would he have to offer there that all of the other heroes doesn't?

In the trailer, we see all of Wakanda's defenders, both native and allied, going against the cannon fodder that is the Outriders (who I'll go ahead and assume are just an Elite characterization of the Chitauri), so I don't think Strange has any business in Wakanda.

Afterall, he's shown to partner with Iron Man and Spider-Man to board either the dropship that arrives in New York or the Sanctuary II, so he's got no wiggle room to go from:

A) Discovering Banner after he crashes into the Sanctum

B) Meeting with Tony Stark (which, based on the trailer, happens shortly after Banner arrives), and participating in the battle that both are involved in shortly afterward

or C) Joining Iron Man and Spider-Man to investigate the ship (which is in the upper atmosphere by the time Peter catches up to it [likely with Iron Man's help])

So, since the Time Stone has yet to be shown capable of letting its wielder be in two places at once, Strange can't have been in Wakanda if the fights happen anywhere near the same timeframe.
