T20 World Cup 2026: T20 World Cup 2026 has reached its final stage. Now only one final match is left, in which the teams of New Zealand and India will play on March 8. The players of the West Indies team, which was eliminated from the tournament after losing to India in the Super 8 round, are still stuck in India. Due to the ongoing war in the Middle East, airspace has been closed, due to which teams are facing difficulties in going home from the tournament. Meanwhile, ICC Chairman Jay Shah has once again done such a thing that everyone is praising him.

West Indies players’ return home confirmed

The team will leave for home on Friday by chartered plane. While talking on this matter, S source said that West Indies will go to their home by chartered plane on Friday. Another source said that ICC Chairman Jay Shah and CEO Sanjog Gupta were in constant touch with the West Indies team so that they could send the team back home safely.

Zimbabwe team went back in pieces

Apart from West Indies, Zimbabwe players were also stuck in India due to bad conditions in the Middle East. The team’s flight was to go via Dubai but it got canceled due to this war. In such a situation, arrangements were made by the ICC to send the players home through another route. The team players are returning home in different batches.
