Zimbabwe's national cricket team, the Chevrons, have been left stranded in India following the cancellation of several outbound flights amid escalating instability in the region.
Multiple reports late Sunday indicated that numerous flights were grounded due to heightened security concerns linked to the US-Israel military action on Iran and subsequent retaliation. The disruptions have affected international travel routes, delaying the team's scheduled return home after their ICC T20 World Cup campaign.
The travel setback comes just hours after Zimbabwe suffered a five-wicket defeat to South Africa in their final Super 8 group match on Sunday afternoon, effectively ending their hopes of progressing further in the tournament.
Team officials are understood to be working with tournament organisers and airline authorities to secure alternative travel arrangements as soon as conditions stabilise.
The unexpected delay adds to what has already been a challenging conclusion to the Chevrons' World Cup journey, with players and support staff now forced to wait for clarity amid an increasingly volatile regional situation.
