Why Was IPL 2025 Suspended?
On Friday, the BCCI announced a temporary week-long suspension of the IPL following rapidly escalating tensions along the India-Pakistan border. The decision was made after security alerts impacted cities near the northern borders, particularly after the Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals match in Dharamsala was abandoned midway due to air raid alerts in nearby regions like Jammu and Pathankot.
In the interest of player safety, the board acted swiftly, choosing to halt all activities and evaluate the situation with government agencies.
Revised IPL 2025 Schedule: What’s the Latest?
Following the announcement of a ceasefire between the two nations, the BCCI has begun taking immediate steps to resume the IPL 2025 season. The new schedule is expected to be released on Monday, with the tournament set to resume as early as May 15 or May 16, 2025.
To ensure the remaining matches are completed before the end of the month—and to avoid clashing with India’s tight cricket calendar—the revised schedule will be compressed and focused in select venues.
New Match Venues
Due to ongoing security concerns in some parts of North India, the following cities are not expected to host any of the remaining matches:
- Dharamsala
- Delhi
- Mumbai
- Chandigarh
- Jaipur
Instead, the revised schedule will likely be confined to:
- Hyderabad
- Chennai
- Kolkata
- Bengaluru
- Lucknow
Franchises have been instructed to reassemble their squads at the designated home venues by Tuesday to prepare for the resumed tournament.
