Between the Test and T20I series, Bangladeshi cricketers reported to have experienced an uncomfortable ferry ride,[19] with several players suffering from
motion sickness from high waves due to a cyclone two days previous. One of the players said to
Prothom Alo "We are the ones who can fall sick and die here, us, nothing will happen to them. 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".[20]
The first T20I was delayed by nearly two hours due to a wet outfield.[21] After several rain interruptions, only 13 overs of play was possible, with the match ending in a
