Ash prompts T20 fears for England
England are likely to be the worst-affected of teams set to travel to the Caribbean for the ICC World Twenty20 next weekend, should airspace continue to be shut-down because of volcanic ash.
London is en route for several other national teams planning to make their way to the West Indies. But whereas they can feasibly make alternative arrangements, England cannot alter their departure point.
Ireland team are already in the Caribbean, along with Zimbabwe, having travelled earlier this month for a series of one-day international and warm-up matches.
Minnows Afghanistan are also expected to arrive soon, despite having had their initial plans disrupted already by the ash cloud which has brought flights in the UK and Europe to a standstill.
England are due to leave next Sunday, with two warm-up matches planned in Barbados, before they begin their campaign in Guyana.
Contingency plans will be hard to come by, with remaining European airports in the same situation as Gatwick and Heathrow and several England players still on the sub-continent in any case for the Indian Premier League - which concludes next weekend.
