ICC struggles to send West Indies home
Even the International Cricket Council (ICC) has been struggling to arrange safe travel plans for teams leaving India after the ongoing intense Iran-Israel war, which is currently in its second year.
The West Indies players have been staying in Kolkata since March 1 after their crushing loss to India in the last Super 8 match. That defeat ended their T20 World Cup 2026 campaign, but their wait to go home has continued much longer than expected.
Instead, the Zimbabwe players were sent through Addis Ababa before they finally reached Harare. Even then, the squad will return home in small groups because of limited flight availability.
South Africa is stuck after the semi-final exit
