Let us tell you that the Indian team was to fly from New York to come to India on Monday, but the team's program was disrupted due to bad weather. The report said that due to storm Beryl in the Atlantic, winds were blowing at a speed of 210 km per hour. This category 4 storm is about 570 km away from Barbados. The direction was east-southeast and due to this the operations at the airport were stopped.
