England returned home promptly after their T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final exit, while South Africa and West Indies faced prolonged delays in India due to Middle East airspace restrictions from the USA-Israel-Iran conflict. Players including Quinton de Kock, David Miller, and Daren Sammy, along with former captain Michael Vaughan, accused the ICC of bias, prompting a denial from the governing body citing logistical constraints.
Quinton de Kock scored an unbeaten 123 in South Africa's eight-wicket win over Pakistan, leveling the ODI series at 1-1. The veteran batter's form has motivated emerging talents Tony de Zorzi and Lhuan-dre Pretorius. Both young left-handers shared significant partnerships with de Kock during the match in Faisalabad on 6 November 2025.
