India, March 2 -- Zimbabwe's national side has had to delay its return home following its T20 World Cup exit due to travel complications. Zimbabwe Cricket confirmed in a statement that the squad is currently in Delhi, assuring that every player and member of the support staff is safe as administrators work on fresh arrangements.

The team was scheduled to fly back to Harare with a stopover in Dubai, but escalating tensions in the Middle East derailed that route. With the initial itinerary no longer viable, the players remain in India while officials sort out an alternative path home.
