Cricket West Indies (CWI) wishes to provide an update regarding the departure arrangements for the West Indies Senior Men’s Team from India following their exit from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
CWI has remained in constant dialogue with the players, team management, and the International Cricket Council (ICC) since their last match against India. While the situation remains complex and fluid due to international airspace restrictions arising from security concerns in the Gulf region, CWI assures the public that every precaution is being taken to ensure the safe return of the team to the Caribbean.
During a high-level call earlier today involving CWI, ICC officials, a representative of team management, and a representative of the players, it was confirmed that a charter flight is currently being arranged for the team’s departure from India, with the expected departure scheduled within the next 24 hours. The departure time remains subject to final air traffic approvals.
The team remains safe and well as arrangements continue to be finalized.
Cricket West Indies reiterates that the safe return of our players and staff remains our highest priority.
