The Indian men's cricket team, which celebrated the 2024 T20 World Cup final on Saturday, is stuck in Barbados due to Cyclone Beryl.

Hurricane Beryl, a Category 3 storm, is expected to pass near Barbados on Monday. The storms are concentrated about 128 kilometres off the southern coast.

The National Hurricane Center announced Monday morning: Beryl is still a very dangerous Category 4 hurricane. However, it weakened to a Category 3 hurricane on Monday morning.

A life-threatening storm surge will raise water levels as much as 6 to 9 feet (1.8 to 2.7 meters) above normal tide levels in areas with inland flow near where the eye makes landfall in the hurricane warning area, the report said.

Winds of up to 130 mph (209 km/h) are expected as Hurricane Beryl moves west.

Hurricane warnings are also in effect for Barbados, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadine Islands and Grenada.

The Indian men's team was expected to fly home on a charter flight, but that did not happen as the airports were closed since Sunday evening.

Just like you, we are also stuck here. After the travel plans are clear, we will think about the felicitation, Jay Shah, secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), told reporters in Barbados.

On Sunday, India finally broke a 12-year losing streak and won the T20 World Cup against South Africa.

This is India's fourth World Cup victory after 1983, 2007 and 2011, and they finished runners-up in 2003, 2014 and 2023.

I would like India to win all the titles. We have the biggest bench strength, only three players from this team are going to Zimbabwe. We can field three teams if needed, said captain Rohit Sharma after the match.

During the post-match presentation, Sharma, 37, and Virat Kohli, 35, both announced their withdrawal from the format.

The duo are the top two scorers in T20 international history, both with more than 4,000 runs, and they chose their moment of shared triumph to leave the podium.

Kohli was the top scorer with 76 off 59 balls in a thrilling seven-run win over the Proteas in Barbados, while Sharma finally regained the first trophy he won as a youngster in 2007.
