Sri Lanka's World Cup cricketers have been left stranded in London after their connecting flight back to Colombo was cancelled.
The delay follows an air attack on Colombo on Sunday by the Tamil Tigers.
The players were booked to fly home with the Emirates airline. But Emirates has suspended flights to Colombo after Sunday's attack.
Officials say the 15-man squad and management team will now go back home early on Wednesday on another airline.
