West Indies take matters into own hands after nine-day ordeal in India

KOLKATA, India (CMC): Cricket West Indies (CWI) has been forced to abandon plans for an ICC-organised charter flight and secure commercial travel for its squad members stranded in India, ending a nine-day wait that had become “increasingly distressing” for players and staff. In a statement released yesterday, CWI confirmed that after repeated delays to charter arrangements handled by the International Cricket Council (ICC), it was no longer prudent to wait.
