Zimbabwe Cricket Team Departs India After ICC Arranges Alternate Travel Routes

The Zimbabwe national cricket team began returning home from India in batches after their ICC T20 World Cup 2026 exit, following travel disruptions caused by the closure of Gulf airspace amid regional conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran. Originally scheduled to fly via Dubai, the ICC arranged alternative routes, with the team now traveling through Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The disruptions affected multiple teams, including West Indies, with all Zimbabwe players and staff reported safe during the revised travel process.
