West Indies Stars Load Own Luggage In Tempo On Arrival, Video Divides Internet

West Indies 'A' cricket team arrived in Nepal on Wednesday ahead of their five-match T20 series against the hosts, starting in Kirtipur on April 27. However, upon their arrival at the Kathmandu International Airport, the team received a shocking welcome as a tempo was waiting for them outside the airport to carry the players' luggage. In a viral video, the West Indies players can be seen loading the luggage in the tempo with the aid of an helper, who was piling the kit bags and suitcases one over the other.

The video left a mix response from the fans on social media. Some slammed Nepal for the poor reception, while other's thought that there is nothing wrong with the luggage being loaded into the tempo.

Here's how Internet reacted:

Nothing wrong..it's a simple/normal welcome.
They did not do unnecessary spending for the fancy welcoming.

It's nothing to laugh about Nepali cricket will improve with time#nepvswi

Hathi bhej diya

Luggage is being transported in a carrier, team is travelling in a bus.

What's the point?

Feel sorry for the West Indies team.

Poor facility
