The team had been stranded in Barbados following their T20 World Cup victory due to Hurricane Beryl, which caused significant disruption in the Caribbean islands. After their win on June 29th at the Kensington Oval, Barbados, they were advised to remain in their hotel. With the weather improving, a special chartered flight was arranged to bring the team and the Indian journalists stuck in Barbados back home.
