As per the news in the Bangladesh newspaper Prothom Alo, several squad members have suffered seasickness while travelling for their T20I series against West Indies. Notably, most of them didn’t have any prior experience travelling via sea and so they fell sick when tides hit the boat during the journey as well.

However, Bangladesh are in West Indies for a multi-format series. They were whitewashed in the Test series by 2-0 and the team will now play a three-match T20I series. The last Test was played in St Lucia whereas the first T20I will take place in Dominica and they were travelling via sea. And, as per the report published by Bangladesh Newspaper Prothom Alo, most of the players from the Bangladesh team fell sick while travelling through ferries for the first time as well.

However, the ferry wasn’t a large one and six to seven feet high waves were enough to make the ferry swing too. As the tides were hitting the boat, players began to feel sick one after the other. And, as per the report, Shoriful Islam and Nafees Iqbal were a few of the players who were worst affected due to that.

“We are the ones who can fall sick and die here, us, nothing will happen to them,” said one player according to the report. “I have toured many countries, this is the first time I am experiencing something like this. None of us are used to this. Forget about playing, what will happen if one of us gets seriously ill in the ferry. This is the worst tour of my life,” said another.

Several members of the Bangladesh national cricket team, including some cricketers, were wrecked on this horrific ferry journey. Shariful Islam and Nurul Hasan have fallen sick due to big waves and 'motion sickness' on their way to Dominica.

“We were concerned regarding the issue. But the first thing is that it is the host country that always arranges this [transportations for players from one state to another]. Still, we did show our concern about this. But the problem was that the Windies official wanted to send contingents of both sides together as it is their standard practice,” he said to Bangladesh news publication, The Daily Star.
