The Indian journalists who were stuck there in Barbados are also coming on the same flight along with BCCI president Roger Binny and secretary Jay Shah, who are looking after all the arrangements,” said BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla to PTI. “The flight will land at Delhi airport tomorrow at 6 am. The team will meet PM Narendra Modi at 11 am at his residence. After this, the team will fly to Mumbai, where a ceremony has been organized. “There will be a road show from Nariman Point in an open bus, and later we will honor and felicitate the players with the prize money of Rs 125 crore as announced,” he added.
