Players of England, West Indies, and South Africa are stranded in India amid the ongoing travel crisis in the Middle East after their campaign ended in the T20 World Cup 2026. Now, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has finally stepped forward and arranged charter flights for players of these teams. South Africa and West Indies players will be flying together from Kolkata, likely stopping in Johannesburg before heading to Antigua. Several players, including West Indies head coach Daren Sammy, expressed their displeasure amid international airspace restrictions and have been sharing posts on their social media handles. Now that ICC has finally stepped in to help, these players are finally heading to their home countries.
