The England team was on their way to Assam, where the warm-up match was scheduled to be held, when Bairstow shared a photo of a couple of his teammates, travelling in economy class of a plane. The players in the photo looked visibly exhausted and exasperated.
Sharing the photo, Bairstow wrote, “Utter chaos.”
In his next line, he wrote, “Last leg incoming been some trip.”
“38 hours and counting,” the wicketkeeper-batsman concluded.
