Three Mumbai-based players Shilton D’Silva, Abhishek Ambekar and Ashutosh Mehta, who were plying their trade in Kolkata last season, are facing problems to return back to their home town amidst the Cyclone ‘Amphan’ which had hit West Bengal on May 20.
The flights were allowed to operate only from Monday because of the Coronavirus lockdown but the cylcone meant that a lot of flights from Kolkata had to be cancelled.
Mohun Bagan’s D’Silva and East Bengal’s Ambekar had booked their tickets to Mumbai on May 25 but unfortunately due to the cyclone, their flights were cancelled and rescheduled on May 28.
