South Africa players Quinton de Kock and David Miller have accused the International Cricket Council (ICC) of leaving their team stranded as the Iran conflict disrupted flights, questioning how England could return home before them.
Thousands of commercial flights have been cancelled in countries across the Gulf due to the US-Israeli war against Iran, disrupting some of the world’s busiest transit hubs. The West Indies, who were eliminated last weekend after their loss to India in the Twenty20 World Cup, have been waiting for days in Kolkata, while South Africa also remain stranded after their semi-final defeat to New Zealand.
England, who were eliminated after losing Thursday’s semi-final against India, departed Mumbai on a charter flight on Saturday.
“Funny ICC, we have heard nothing! meanwhile, England are leaving before us somehow? West Indies and Proteasmencsa are just in the dark. Strange how different teams have more pull than others,” De Kock posted on Instagram.
