England to play India on September 30 in Guwahati in a warmup game.
England’s journey to Guwahati took 38 hours and more as per Bairstow’s Instagram story. He shared a picture of an England player in the economy class of a flight, summing up the trouble that the players had to go through. In the picture, the players look drained from the long flight while being surrounded by co-passengers in the flight.
Bairstow captioned the post "utter chaos" and further wrote "last leg incoming... been some trip". He then added "38 hours and counting...", with a laughing emoji.
As per an ANI report, both the England and Indian players have reached Guwahati. England's pin all-rounder Moeen Ali, spinner Adil Rashid, batter Joe Root, and some members of coaching/support staff were captured making their way to the team bus.
