So far, 58 matches have been played in this season, including the abandoned game in Dharamshala.
Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has been suspended by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) due to rising tensions between India and Pakistan.
The decision to suspend IPL 2025 came after Thursday’s match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) was called off during the first innings. The match was first stopped because of a floodlight failure. Just before the lights went out, reports came in about a drone attack in some areas of Jammu by Pakistan, amid ongoing border tensions. Soon after, the match was officially called off, and fans were asked to evacuate the stadium for safety reasons.
So far, 58 matches have been played in this season, including the abandoned game in Dharamshala. There were 12 league matches left, along with two qualifiers, an eliminator, and the final.
Today’s match was between LSG and RCB at the Ekana Stadium. It was a good decision by the BCCI to suspend the IPL, as the safety of the nation and the players comes first.
According to reports, the IPL might be rescheduled after India’s tour of England, possibly during the Asia Cup window in September. However, the Asia Cup could also be cancelled due to the ongoing conflict. India’s ODI tour to Bangladesh in August is also unlikely to happen, as Indian players are not expected to travel to the neighbouring country given the current situation.
The official announcement from the IPL has confirmed that the tournament has been suspended for a week.
