Zimbabwe's cricket team returns home via Ethiopia after being stranded in India due to Middle East airspace closures.

Zimbabwe's senior men's cricket team is returning home in batches after being stranded in India due to airspace closures in West Asia caused by regional tensions, including missile and drone attacks by Iran. The ICC arranged alternative travel via Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, after flights through Dubai and Abu Dhabi were canceled. The team, which lost to South Africa in their final T20 World Cup match, departed India starting Wednesday, with the last group set to leave Friday. Ethiopian Airlines is providing the new routing, which also affects other teams. Further updates are expected.
