Travel chaos strikes the West Indies after their T20 World Cup exit, leaving players and support staff stranded in Kolkata. The escalating Middle East tensions have disrupted travel plans, with thousands of flights canceled across Gulf nations, impacting transit hubs and causing significant travel disruptions. The West Indies' Super 8 clash with India at Eden Gardens on Sunday resulted in a five-wicket loss, eliminating them from the tournament. Zimbabwe, too, had been eliminated a few days prior after a defeat to India. Despite the challenges, Cricket West Indies (CWI) assures that the safety and well-being of players, coaches, and officials remain their top priority, working closely with the ICC to arrange safe travel. The ICC acknowledges the situation, activating contingency plans for personnel transiting through Dubai. Zimbabwe Cricket confirms the team's safety in Delhi, with administrators exploring alternative travel arrangements. The evolving Middle East crisis has disrupted key transit routes, causing travel turmoil for both teams.
