Zimbabwe finally to return home after travel chaos

## Departure from India

The Zimbabwe cricket team has finally left India after their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup participation. Their return was delayed due to flight disruptions caused by tensions in the Middle East. The International Cricket Council (ICC) arranged alternative travel plans to ensure the team's safe return.

## Travel Adjustments

Originally, the team was set to return in three groups starting early Monday. However, due to the disruptions, their travel plans were altered. Zimbabwe Cricket confirmed that the team is now returning to Harare in batches, with the first group departing on Wednesday and the last expected to leave by Friday.

## New Transit Route

The revised travel route includes a stop in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, as the new transit hub. Ethiopian Airlines is facilitating the team's journey back home.

## Coordination Efforts

Cricket West Indies also mentioned working with the ICC and other authorities to secure safe travel for their squad. This highlights the broader impact of the travel disruptions on cricket teams in the region.
