Media release

Since the International Cricket Council's (ICC) earlier update, and to ensure continued transparency on the matter, here is further communication of the ongoing departures of South Africa and the West Indies following the conclusion of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.

Four South Africa players and five family members have boarded flights and are making their way home, with all 29 remaining members of their contingent scheduled to depart in the next 24 hours.

Of the West Indies contingent, nine members have departed for the Caribbean, while the remaining 16 are booked on flights departing India in the next 12 hours.

The ICC confirms that we are managing all additional logistics, including accommodation, as a result of these unforeseen travel disruptions, and the ICC again thanks the two Members, their players, families and staff for their patience as we ensure their safe transit home.
