The trophies won by the Indian cricketers in the Future Cup one-day series against
South Africa in Ireland have been recovered and would be delivered
at the BCCI office in Mumbai today.
Indian Cricket Board Secretary Niranjan Shah said the luggage containing
the team's winners' trophy, Sachin Tendulkar's man of the series trophy, and Yuvraj
Singh's and Gautam Gambhir's man of the match medals - won after the 2-1 series
victory in Belfast would be handed over at the Board office by this evening.
"The luggage would be delivered at the BCCI office in
Mumbai by this evening. It was a normal delay and was nothing to worry about,"
Shah said.
The luggage had been caught up in a "backlog" of
bags on their way to India via British Airways, the airlines which was
to transport the bags via London last week.
The airlines had blamed the backlog on heightened security
measures at London's Heathrow airport.
