England keeper-batter Jonny Bairstow posted an inquisitive story on his Instagram about the squad’s torrid time in economy class as they flew to Guwahati for their ICC World Cup 2023 warmup match against India on September 30.
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.
England have two warm-up matches scheduled before the ODI World Cup begins. After India takes on England, they will play the Netherlands on October 3 in Thiruvananthapuram in their second warm-up match. England's second warm-up game will be against Bangladesh in Guwahati on October 2.
England will kickstart their title defence against New Zealand on October 5 at Ahmedabad.
