In light of the ongoing national tensions, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially suspended the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 for one week. The decision was made to prioritize national security and ensure the safety of players, staff, and fans amid rising concerns along the border.
A BCCI spokesperson confirmed that the board will closely monitor the situation and reassess next steps before resuming the tournament. Updated schedules and venues will be announced based on the evolving scenario.
This move follows increasing calls for caution after air raid alerts disrupted a recent match in Dharamsala. The IPL was originally slated to conclude on May 25 in Kolkata.
