Mirpur: Indian fast bowler Deepak Chahar on Saturday claimed that Malaysia Airlines lost his luggage and was forced to travel in ‘business class’ while he was traveling from New Zealand to Dhaka. Despite this, even food was not provided. Chahar joined the Indian team for the three-match ODI series against Bangladesh starting on Sunday.

Chahar (Deepak Chahar) tweeted before the team’s practice session on Saturday morning, “It was a very bad experience traveling by Malaysian Airlines.” First they changed our flight and didn’t even inform us about it and then didn’t even provide food in business class. Now we are waiting for our luggage for the last 24 hours while we have to play the match tomorrow.”

After the conclusion of the ODI series in New Zealand, Chahar, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar reached Dhaka from Christchurch via Kuala Lumpur. Suryakumar Yadav (due to being rested) and Umran Malik reached India directly. Malik, however, will now have to tour Bangladesh as he has been included in the ODI squad in place of injured Mohammed Shami. Malaysia Airlines sent Chahar a link to lodge a complaint but the cricketer says the link is not opening.
Malaysia Airlines responded on Twitter, “This may happen due to operational, meteorological and technical reasons.” We apologize for the inconvenience.” (agency)
