Team India is stuck in Barbados due to cyclone Beryl. Team India was to return the day after the thrilling victory in the T20 World Cup 2024, but due to the storm, Team India could not leave for India. According to the information received, Team India will be brought back by BCCI chartered flight.
According to sources, the team is expected to leave Bridgetown at 6 pm local time (3 July, 3:30 pm IST) and reach Delhi on Wednesday at 7.45 pm (IST). After reaching here, the players will be felicitated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but there is no confirmation of that program yet. However, no official statement has come from the BCCI yet.
In this regard, Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley told a news channel that “I am actually in touch with the airport staff and they are now doing their final checks and we hope that normal flights will resume as soon as possible.” Let us tell you that the Indian team was to fly from New York to India on Monday, but the team's schedule got spoiled due to bad weather. The report said that due to Hurricane Beryl in the Atlantic, winds are blowing at a speed of 210 km per hour. The Category 4 storm was about 570 km east-southeast of Barbados and due to this operations at the airport were suspended.
