Jos Buttler's side set off on Wednesday ahead of their opening World Cup game against New Zealand - a repeat of the 2019 final - on October 5. England secured a 48-run victory over Ireland in a warm-up match at Trent Bridge, a matter of days after beating New Zealand 3-1 in a four-match ODI series. However, it is safe to say England's journey was not the smoothest. Bairstow provided an update on his Instagram account and fumed with his side still on the plane - despite taking off over 38 hours ago. The 34-year-old posted a photo which included the England squad and members of the public. Bairstow also branded the trip as "utter chaos", as well as saying "last leg incoming... been some trip," followed by the laughing face emoji. He then added "38 hours and counting..." and the time, which was 21:21 local time. It is unknown where the England team are at this stage as they prepare to land in India. England are set to face India in another warm-up match before they entertain New Zealand next Thursday - and Matthew Mott's team will be hoping they can end their preparations with a win.

England play eight of their nine group stage matches at different venues, with Chennai and Hyderabad the only places they won't visit. They will make the trips Dharamsala, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Pune and Kolkata, never spending more than a few days in each city.
