Having defeated South Africa by 7 runs in the T20 World Cup 2024 final at Kensington Oval in Barbados, Team India is the recently crowned Champions of the World. Originally scheduled to come back to India to celebrate their World Cup glory with supporters, such preparations were shelved when the squad was caught in the West Indies following a "Hurricane Beryl" striking Barbados coast.

More bad news for the Indian cricket team: as the situation with Hurricane Beryl in the Caribbean Islands gets worse, its classification has been changed to "Extremely Dangerous".

Originally set to leave Barbados at 11 AM local time (8:30 PM IST) on Monday, the onset of Hurricane Beryl threw off the team's travel arrangements.

This strong hurricane caused businesses and airports to close, therefore trapping the crew in Barbados for two days. The matter has gotten more crucial as Hurricane Beryl has developed into a quite hazardous Category 4 hurricane. Warnings concerning potentially fatal winds and the likelihood of a strong storm surge have been sent by authorities.

According to the most recent U.S. National Hurricane Centre assessment, Beryl, upgraded to a Category 4 storm on Monday, has now strengthened to a Category 5 storm after passing the Windward Islands and nearing Jamaica. Originally Class 4, the hurricane delivered dangerous winds and storm conditions to Barbados and surrounding islands. In these grave conditions, ensuring the team's safe return now takes front stage.

What’s the latest in Team India’s departure from Barbados?

It is now anticipated that Team India would land in New Delhi on Thursday at roughly 1:30 AM IST, or 4:00 PM local time in Barbados. Following Hurricane Beryl's intensification into a Category 5 hurricane and the closing of Barbados' airports and enterprises, the travel itinerary has been amended. Due to the extreme weather, the team's original departure time of 11 AM local time (Barbados) on Monday was delayed by two days. As a result, the team's safe return is of utmost importance.
