Possible IPL 2025 Suspension Amid India-Pakistan Tensions: Chairperson's Remarks Revealed

Good news for IPL fans! After a brief hiatus, the much-anticipated Indian Premiere League (IPL) 2025 is set to make a comeback. Following a series of consultations with the central government, security agencies, and other stakeholders, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to carry on with the tournament, starting from May 17, 2025, and running until June 3, 2025[1][2][3][4].

The decision comes amid the cooling down of India-Pakistan tensions. The remainder of the 17 matches will be staged across six vibrant cities—Bengaluru, Delhi, Jaipur, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Lucknow—with two double-header Sundays lined up[3][4]. As for the playoff venues, they are yet to be confirmed. However, the playoffs are scheduled for May 29, 30, and June 1, leading up to the grand finale on June 3[1][3][4].

The IPL 2025 was initially put on hold due to escalating Indo-Pak tensions. But with the tensions starting to simmer down and the border areas seeing a relative sense of calm, it seemed safe to proceed with the tournament. The safety of players, staff, and spectators is of utmost importance, according to the BCCI[3].

This move aligns with national interests as the Indian armed forces played a significant role in restoring conditions for the resumption of the event. The BCCI expresses its deep appreciation for the efforts of the Indian armed forces[3].
