After the tournament was suspended, BCCI will try to carry out IPL 2025 Phase II at the expense of the Asian Cup 2025 in September.
When the IPL 2025 is suspended for a week and there is no clarity of when it can continue, the Cricket Control Board (BCCI) in India is precarious. But not BCCI, the world is thinking about it. IPL’s II. The stage has the best window during the Asian Cup 2025 in the third week of September. In this way, BCCI can force the Asian Cup to cancel and damage Pakistan, Mohsin Naqvi to the president of the New Asian Cricket Council and still complete the IPL after a break. There will be a win-win scenario for both BCC and India, which has now dragged into a cross-border tension by Pakistan.
The Asia Cup has a 19 -day window in September and the Pakistan matches guaranteed for the revenue purposes of the publisher. But the tournament is now Naqvi’s headache. Considering Naqvi was Pakistan’s internal minister, India would not play in the Asian Cup. Not only for India’s optics, the government will not allow the Indian Cricket team to compete.
“If a baydut nation (Pakistan) has a possibility of a war, it is extremely bad optical. Sports may continue when everything is normal. Also, it is natural that foreign players and coaches are careful and asking to return home.” A senior BCCI official told PTI.
No Asian Cup in 2025
As Insidesport has reported earlier, there will be no Asian Cup to be played in T20 format in front of the T20 World Cup in 2025.
Until May 8, India-Pakistan tension seemed under control. However, as Pakistan attacked India with 300-400 drones, this situation increased rapidly as it targeted military and civilians on the screen of the darkness. At least in 2025, India can play Pakistan in a cricket match.
Thus, the future of the Asian Cricket Council, as suggested by former Indian captain Sunil Gavascar, seems gloom. However, how does this help BCCI and IPL?
IPL 2025 phase II
He’s helping. No Asian Cup means compensation from the Official Publisher (Sony) Naqvi’s account. Naqvi can add common nations such as Oman, UAE and even Hong Kong by forcing the Asian Cup to continue. However, if there is no Pakistan Cricket match against India, it will be almost impossible for the ACC to cover the revenue of the publisher. Therefore, Naqvi’s face loss, so there will be Pakistan.
When this window is cleaned, BCCI IPL can complete the 2025 phase II. There are only 16 matches in the tournament and can be completed with several pairs of headings in two weeks.
Is there a window?
The BCCI has a March-May window to complete the IPL. Other windows are busy. The window also allows all foreign players to compete in the league.
- June 4-August: India Tour of England (including India A Tour)
- August: Australia face and South Africa tour
- August-September: Caribbean Premier League
- September: England vs South Africa
In September, the UK’s White Ball series (3 ODI and 3 T20I) hosted South Africa, but BCCI can negotiate the launch of players for IPL. Australia does not have a planned match in September. This window may be ideal for BCCI to conclude IPL 2025.
It will not be available for October-November-December, because the Indian woman hosts the ODI World Cup, while there are ashes in November-December. Australia will also host the full white ball series in India in October.
Therefore, instead of the Asian Cup, IPL will be a win-win for both BCCI and India to have IPL 2025 Phase II.
