It seems like nothing is going right for Jet Airways. After shutdown, the Virat Kohli-led Indian National Cricket Team is forced to change their Airlines to travel England for the upcoming ICC World Cup 2019. Now, the Virat Kohli-led side will travel in the Fly Emirates, which is the official partner of the International Cricket Council.
Actually, Jet Airways was the official travelling partner for the Board of Control for Cricket in India. They were scheduled to take the team to England on May 23rd. However, the plan now gets changed, as Jet Airways has grounded its fleet due to the bills obstacles.
“It’s a challenge but we are addressing it. The team will leave as planned on or before May 22,” the BCCI official said while speaking to Mumbai Mirror.
As per the reports, it is learnt that the team will travel to England on May 22 by Emirates as per The Economic Times. Well, it would be interesting to see whether they can manage the flight travel as planned.
The tournament begins from May 30 and will be played in England and Wales. While India will be looking for their third title – after success in 1983 (under Kapil Dev’s captaincy) and 2011 (under Mahendra Singh Dhoni); England is hoping to pick up their first silverware.
So far, the Indian National Cricket Team and the hosts England were thought to be the strong contenders of the ICC World Cup 2019. However, all the teams boosted themselves with fine talents in their ranks to make it really tough to predict.
