All members of West Indies team safely home
The entire 26-member contingent which represented the West Indies at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in India is safely back at home.
In a statement issued by Cricket West Indies (CWI) on Saturday, it said all of the players and management unit had arrived at their destinations after departing India earlier this week on commercial flights.
The team had been stranded in Kolkata for nine days due to the ongoing war in West Asia, which resulted in disruption to air travel.
“Cricket West Indies wishes to advise that, as of today, Saturday, March 14, 2026, all players and members of the Team Management Unit (TMU) who were part of the West Indies men’s squad at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in India have returned home safely,” the statement read.
“Following the previously outlined challenges relating to cancellations of chartered flights coordinated by the International Cricket Council (ICC), commercial travel was successfully secured for the members of the squad earlier this week. The final group of players and support staff completed their journeys over the past several days and have now safely arrived at their respective destinations.
“Cricket West Indies extends its sincere appreciation to the ICC, regional cricket boards, and other stakeholders who assisted in facilitating the safe return of the team. We also thank West Indies fans and the wider cricketing community for their concern and well-wishes.
“The well-being and safety of our players and staff remain paramount, and we are grateful that the matter has now been brought to a safe and satisfactory conclusion,” CWI further added. (CMC)
