England, South Africa and West Indies cricket teams are departing India on special chartered flights arranged by the International Cricket Council after being stranded by commercial aviation suspensions tied to the Middle East military conflict.

England, eliminated by India in Thursday's semi-final, is scheduled to depart Mumbai for London on Saturday evening, according to ESPNcricinfo.

The South African and West Indies squads, who have been grounded in Kolkata following their respective tournament exits, will share a separate chartered flight leaving India on Sunday.

The Sunday flight will transport the teams to Johannesburg, where the West Indies squad will then connect to a flight bound for Antigua.

A contingent of the South African setup, including players Keshav Maharaj, Jason Smith and George Linde, will separate from the main group and travel to New Zealand for a T20 series starting March 15.

The flight disruptions have forced multiple teams to remain in India days after their tournament campaigns ended. South Africa was knocked out in a March 4 semi-final against New Zealand, while the West Indies exited the Super Eight stage after a March 1 loss to India. West Indies head coach Darren Sammy highlighted the delay on the social media platform X, posting "Day Six" on Saturday to mark the ongoing wait.

The Zimbabwe national team experienced similar logistical delays. Following their final match on March 1, a portion of the squad was only able to secure a flight out of the country on Wednesday.
