Cricket's Bengal Pro T20 League delayed due to halt of Indian Premier League (IPL)
In a major blow to Indian cricket, the Bengal Pro T20 League Season 2 gets axed due to surging national security issues between India and Pakistan. On May 9, 2025, the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) made the announcement, citing the "prevailing national circumstances" as the primary reason for the postponement.
Another casualty of the rising tensions is the Indian Premier League (IPL), which was also put on hold under similar circumstances. The CAB's decision follows suit, prioritizing national unity and security above all else, just like the BCCI.
The women's edition of the Bengal Pro T20 League was supposed to kick off in Birbhum on May 16, 2025, with the men's tournament set to commence at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on June 4, 2025. No new dates have been fixed yet, and the rigorous review process will involve coordination with relevant authorities, stakeholders, and any advisory from the BCCI.
Clearly, the lingering military tensions linked to Operation Sindoor, an Indian military initiative targeting cross-border terror bases, have brought a halt to numerous major sporting events in the region, including IPL 2025 and the Bengal Pro T20 League. Given this, it's apparent that CAB values national solidarity and security above all, even if it means postponing one of the country's most anticipated cricket tournaments.
As the situation demands a cautious approach, sports enthusiasts will have to hang tight until it's safe to reboot the Bengal Pro T20 League Season 2.

Despite the cancellation of the Bengal Pro T20 League Season 2, Dhumal and other sports enthusiasts remain hopeful about the potential rescheduling of the fixtures. The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) is currently coordinating with relevant authorities to determine new dates for the tournament, ensuring a seamless continuation of football and other sports in the region when deemed safe. In 2025, as tensions between India and Pakistan subside, murmurs of a revitalized Bengal Pro T20 League are likely to surface once more.
