The T20 World Cup-winning Indian cricket team is set to fly home aboard a charter flight on Tuesday evening (3:30 am IST, Wednesday) after Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley said she expects the airport here to become operational soon, ending the shutdown forced by a Category 4 hurricane.

The Rohit Sharma-led squad, its support staff, some BCCI officials, and the players’ families have been stranded here for the past two days due to Hurricane Beryl. The team won the title on Saturday after defeating South Africa by seven runs in the final.
