IPL 2025 Postponement and Ceasefire Developments
Recent tensions between India and Pakistan led to the postponement of IPL 2025 for a week. However, with the announcement of a ceasefire between the two nations, questions arise about whether the remaining matches of IPL 2025 will resume next week.
All eyes are now on the BCCI's statement regarding the current situation. As of now, there has been no official word from the board about the league's potential restart in May.
So far, 57 matches have been completed in IPL 2025, with the 58th match being canceled due to the war-like conditions. There are still 16 matches left to be played, including the finals and playoffs. When the league was suspended, many international players returned to their home countries. This poses a significant challenge for the BCCI in terms of bringing them back, as the tournament cannot proceed without these foreign players.
Additionally, the BCCI will need to announce a new schedule for the remaining 16 matches. This is a considerable challenge for the Indian board, especially with the Indian team set to play a five-match Test series against England starting June 20.
