    T20 WC: After Delay Due To Middle East Travel Disruption, WI Team Set To Fly Home On Chartered Flight

    T20 World Cup: A charter flight has been arranged to fly the West Indies team back home after the players and support staff were stranded in Kolkata for more than four days post their exit from the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup.

    The West Indies' departure from Kolkata, where they lost to India by five wickets in their last Super Eights clash, was delayed due to the Middle East region being under airspace restrictions following the USA and Israeli strikes on Iran.

    It forced the Shai Hope-led side to remain in their hotel in Kolkata until an alternate travel arrangement was secured. “The West Indies team has got a chartered flight booked. It is all sorted now for them,” said an ICC official to IANS on Thursday.
