To change the sentence to indirect speech we must first change the narrative from 1st person to 3rd person narrative. Then, you must change the tense of the sentence accordingly (here it'll become past tense). Now, the correct sentence in indirect speech will be ⇨ They said that they were late.

NOTE :-

  • The use of 'that' in some sentences are optional (the given sentence requires 'that' though).
