good to see ICC making plans to get the teams here..DUBAI, April 20 (Reuters) - The International Cricket Council (ICC) said it was preparing to fly teams participating in the Twenty20 World Cup starting next week directly from Dubai to the West Indies.
The move followed air travel restrictions over much of Europe due to volcanic ash following last week's eruption in Iceland.
"We are doing everything possible to overcome the airline logistical challenges and we are extremely grateful to our commercial partner Emirates for putting forward a charter-flight option," ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat said in a statement on Tuesday.
