Returning India: Barbados’ PM says she anticipates the airport opening in the next six to twelve hours

The Indian cricket team that won the T20 World Cup is scheduled to return home on a charter flight on Tuesday night. This comes after Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley stated that she anticipates the airport here to reopen in the “next six to twelve hours,” ending the closure that was brought on by a category 4 hurricane.

Hurricane Beryl has left the Rohit Sharma-led team, its support staff, a few BCCI officials, and the players’ families stranded here for the last two days. The team defeated South Africa by seven runs in the championship match, and they won the title on Saturday.
