The International Cricket Council has denied accusations of preferential treatment after West Indies and South Africa teams faced prolonged delays returning from the T20 World Cup in India due to Middle East conflict disruptions. Both squads, stranded in Kolkata, have begun departing on commercial flights after cancelled ICC charters, with players voicing frustration on social media over handling and comparisons to England's swift return.
Iran say their national team has been delayed at an airport while traveling to Seattle for a World Cup group match against Egypt. The delay stems from alleged interference by U.S. authorities involving captain Mehdi Taremi and assistant coach Saeed Alhoei.
