Chahar tweeted before the team's training session in Dhaka on Saturday. He wrote, "Had a worse experience traveling with Malaysia airlines @MAS .first they changed our flight without telling us and no food in Business class. Now we have been waiting for our luggage from last 24hours. Imagine we have a game to play tomorrow."

Along with Deepak Chahar, Mohammad Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill, and Washington Sundar arrived in Bangladesh after playing T20 and ODI series in New Zealand. They flew from Christchurch to Dhaka via Kuala Lumpur.

Due to the workload, Suryakumar Yadav will not play for this series. He came back to India with Umran Malik. However, Umran Malik has been included in the squad for the ODI series against Bangladesh due to the injury of Mohammed Shami. Umran will now leave for Bangladesh from India.

Malaysian Airlines sent a link to the complaint to Chahar on Twitter, but the cricketer said it did not open. The airlines responded on Twitter about the flight changes. "May be unavoidable due to operational, weather-related, and technical reasons. We apologize for the inconvenience caused." the airlines replied on Twitter about the change in flight.
