The Indian cricket team, fresh off their T20 World Cup victory, is poised to return home after being stranded in Barbados due to Hurricane Beryl. Prime Minister Mia Mottley announced that the airport is expected to be operational within six to twelve hours, following extensive checks and efforts to restore normalcy.
The Rohit Sharma-led squad, along with their support staff, BCCI officials, and their families, faced a two-day delay after clinching the title against South Africa. Mottley, overseeing relief and recovery operations, emphasized the urgency of resuming airport services to facilitate their departure.
Barbados endured life-threatening winds and extensive damage, though the storm's eye missed landfall by 80 miles. With another hurricane forecasted for Wednesday, Mottley remains committed to ensuring the safety of both locals and visitors. Despite the lockdown, the victorious Indian team maintains high spirits, celebrating an end to their 11-year title drought.
