Stranded in Dubai, Jonny Bairstow reveals worrying development and seeks help from UK Prime Minister

-

There’s a war like situation out there in the Middle East. Most of the countries are getting affected and with that, life of sports and sportspersons aren’t going smooth as well. T20 World Cup participants are stranded in India, which is a safer space. But for Jonny Bairstow, it is much more difficult as he is in that part of the world, currently dubbed as “war zone”.

The England wicketkeeper-batter has revealed a worrying development from Dubai, where he remains stranded with his young family amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. With commercial departures from the UAE halted following reported missile and drone strikes by Iran, thousands have been left grounded and Bairstow is among them.

Jonny Bairstow & England Lions team stranded in Dubai, call out for help

Contrary to earlier speculation, the 36-year-old clarified that he is not with the England Lions squad currently in the region. Instead, he is in Dubai on a personal trip, trying to navigate a the deteriorating security situation. The England Lions, meanwhile, are in Abu Dhabi.

“Can you get us home???” — Bairstow’s public appeal

Taking to social media, Bairstow made an emotional appeal. Responding directly to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s statement on the crisis, the cricketer wrote: “Can you get us home???”

A day earlier, Bairstow had also publicly reached out to Emirates airline after his flight was cancelled, stating that there had been no communication following the disruption. The UK’s Foreign Office has since updated its travel advisory for the UAE, urging British nationals to shelter in place due to reported missile activity.

With nine wickets down for just 64, Royal Challengers Bengaluru were staring down the barrel of humiliation. In a rain-shortened 14-over clash against Punjab Kings at the Chinnaswamy, the memories of their infamous 49 all-out threatened to resurface. But Tim David had other plans. His unbeaten 50 off 26 balls wasn’t just a rescue act—it was a declaration. Tim David’s best IPL knock On a night when RCB’s other ten batters combined for just 44 runs, David stood tall to hammer 50 runs off 26 alone. Remember he was picked up for just Rs 3 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction! Bargain stuff. The surface wasn’t easy, and Punjab’s bowlers made life tougher. Marco Jansen and Yuzvendra Chahal bowled unchanged spells, choking RCB’s top and middle order with smart variations. The scoreboard read 36/5 at one point, with batters falling to mistimed slogs and mistreated short balls. But amid the chaos, David brought calm and calculation. RCB were 74/9 when David took strike for the final over. Wha...
