\n Former England batter Jonny Bairstow has revealed he is still stranded in Dubai with his young family.\n<\/p>\n
\n He posted on X at around noon: “For those writing that I\u2019m with the England Lions team\u2026 I am not. I am with my young family in Dubai\u2026sure the England Lions security staff will be doing all they can to get them out of Abu Dhabi but I am trying to keep my family safe and get us out of here!!”\n<\/p>\n
\n Bairstow, who has represented his country on 287 occasions, made headlines on Saturday with a social media post to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in response to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.\n<\/p>\n
\n It was followed a day later by Bairstow writing to airline Emirates about a lack of dialogue following a cancelled flight.\n<\/p>\n
More than 100,000 Britons stranded<\/p>\n
\n Bairstow is one of more than 100,000 Britons who have registered their presence in the Middle East region and require potential evacuation.\n<\/p>\n
\n Airspace closures in the Middle East have resulted in a number of commercial flights being grounded since attacks started on Saturday.\n<\/p>\n
\n England Lions had been due to play a tour match in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, but it was cancelled.\n<\/p>\n
\n The England and Wales Cricket Board has since revealed England Women\u2019s proposed trip to Abu Dhabi this week has been delayed, but England\u2019s T20 World Cup plans remain in place ahead of Thursday\u2019s final with India in Mumbai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former England batter Jonny Bairstow has revealed he is still stranded in Dubai with his young family.
