Hurricane Beryl further delays team India’s departure from Barbados

The Indian men’s cricket team is struck in Barbados and their arrival has been further delayed due to hurricane Beryl, reported PTI

As per the forecast, life-threatening winds and storm lashed Barbados and nearby islands on Monday. The country, with a population of close to three lakh, has been in a lockdown since Sunday evening.

"The Indian cricket team remains stranded in Barbados after the hurricane hit the Caribbean islands here in the wee hours of Monday, delaying its departure back home by at least another day," PTI shared on X.


The Indian team, victorious in the World Cup, had originally intended to charter a direct flight home, but the airport has been closed since Sunday evening.



Reacting to the development, BCCI secretary Jay Shah told reporters in Barbados, "like you people, we are also stuck here. First, we need to see how to get the players and everyone out of here safely, and then we will think about the felicitation upon arrival in India."
