WI vs BAN: Bangladeshi cricketers’ lives in danger in West Indies, players said: We could have died

The Bangladeshi cricket team is currently on a tour of the West Indies. After a crushing loss in the Test series, the away team now has to play a limited series of overs here. Three T20 and one-day series of equal number of matches will be played between the two teams. The first T20 match will be played in Dominica today, that is, on Saturday. But before the match, the Bangladesh team had to go through a terrible situation.

After playing the last test match in Saint Lucia, the Bangladeshi team arrived in Dominica by sea for the first T20 match. But during this his experience was very terrifying. In reality, the visiting team traveled by sea for about 180 km, which took about five hours. Most of the Bangladeshi players got sick while traveling by ferry, and after arriving in Dominica, most of the players started throwing up and got sick.

According to the Bangladeshi newspaper Prothom Alo, as soon as the ship reached the middle of the sea, strong waves began. The boat wasn’t very big, so she began to dive into the six to seven foot high waves. Due to this, cricketers began to feel sick one after another. According to the newspaper report, the most affected were fast pitcher Shorful Islam and goalkeeper-hitter Nafees Iqbal. Shorful also vomited several times during the trip.

The report also mentioned that the West Indies team has never traveled by ship to another island for international games. One of the Bangladeshi cricketers who spoke to the paper said they might die on that trip; Another senior cricketer said it was the “worst tour” of his life. One player said that at one point it looked like we were going to die.

Another cricketer said that I have toured many countries, this is the first time I am experiencing something like this. None of us are used to it. Forget playing games, what if one of us gets seriously ill on a yacht. This is the worst tour of my life.
