    T20 WC: ICC Activates Contingency Plans To Support Teams' Return Home Amid Tensions In The Middle East

    By IANS News February 28, 2026 • 20:04 PM View: 333
    The International Cricket Council: The International Cricket Council (ICC) is closely monitoring the evolving situation in the Middle East and has activated comprehensive contingency plans to safeguard the travel, logistics, and well-being of all stakeholders associated with the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, currently underway in India and Sri Lanka.

    The crisis in the Middle East has escalated as Tehran has threatened to launch new attacks against Israel and the US ships and shipping interests in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden following Monday's US-Israel military operations against Iran. The possibility of attacks is threatening to disrupt air travel across the region to reach Europe and Africa.

    While the crisis in the Middle East has no direct bearing on the conduct of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, the ICC acknowledges that a significant number of personnel -- including players, team management, match officials, broadcast teams, and event staff -- rely on Gulf hub airports, particularly Dubai (DXB), as key transit points for onward travel to their home countries upon concluding their commitments at the event.
