In the midst of increasing tensions between India and Pakistan, BCCI decided to suspend the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The decision was reported after the concerns shown by both the franchise and foreign players. Although nothing concrete has been explained about the future of the tournament, IPL said that a meeting will be held within a week to decide on new places and competition program. Former British captain Michael Vaughan suggested that the competition could be completed in the UK because it has all the necessary infrastructure. He also said that Indian players could fall behind for the upcoming test series.
“I wonder if it is possible to finish IPL in the United Kingdom. We have all places and Indian players can stay for the test series. Just a thought?” X (formerly called twitter).

The decision was taken by BCCI after the border tensions intensified on Thursday night, and the air strokes and drones from Pakistan seized the sky while Jammu, Udhampur and Pathankot caused interruptions. After completing only 10.1 of the first landing, it led to the game between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala.
When the airport and other northern cities in Dharamshala were closed, both the PBKS and DC players and support personnel, match officials, commentators, broadcasting team members and other key IPL personnel were released from Dharamshala to a special train organized by Delhi by a bus.
BCCI also said that the decision was taken by the IPL Management Council, which consists of SAİKİA and IPL President Arun Dhumal, and also after the representatives of the players and the franchise owners who conveyed the concerns and emotions of the broadcaster, sponsors and fans.
“While the BCCI stopped the full belief in the power and preparations of our armed forces, the Board thought that it was cautious to act in the collective interests of all stakeholders. At this critical intersection, BCCI stands closely with the nation. We express our solidarity with the Indian government, the armed forces and the people of our country.”
“The Board greets the heroic efforts under the Sindoor operation, the last terrorist attack and the unjust aggression of the armed forces of Pakistan’s armed forces greet the courage, courage and self -sacrifice of our armed forces who continue to protect and inspire the nation.”
“While Cricket continues to be a national passion, there is nothing bigger than the country and its sovereignty, its integrity and security of our country.
