Kolkata, March 3 (UNI) Cricket West Indies (CWI) has confirmed that the departure of the West Indies senior men’s team from India, following their exit from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, has been delayed due to international airspace restrictions. In a statement released on Monday, CWI said the restrictions stem from security threats arising out of military action in the Gulf region, which has disrupted several international flight routes and forced airlines to revise scheduled services for safety reasons. CWI added that it is working closely with the International Cricket Council (ICC), relevant governmental authorities, and airline partners to arrange the earliest possible safe travel for the squad and support staff.
