Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024 slated to be held in June this year, hosts West Indies are prepping up for the mega-event with a five-match T20I series against Nepal. 

However, upon their arrival at the Kathmandu Airport, the Windies players were spotted loading their own luggage onto a small vehicle commonly referred to as 'chota haathi (small elephant)' in India.

While cricketers are treated as icons and celebrities across the globe which comes with all kinds of perks, this was rather a contrasting sight from all the glamour and comfort. 

Soon the video went viral and fans were quick to judge and pass snarky comments on the internet. 

In response to all the flak, Zimbabwe cricketer Sikander Raza took to his social media account on X (formerly Twitter) and gave them a lesson in humility. 

Raza wrote, "Can guarantee that Nepal will give them the best treatment possible within their means and rightly so and can also guarantee that none of the Carribean boys will see this as a problem or a hassle."
