The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is expected to resume next week following a mutually agreed-upon ceasefire between India and Pakistan after ‘Operation Sindoor’. The ceasefire, announced on May 10, 2025, at 5 PM IST, will see both countries stop all firing and military action on land, air, and sea.
The BCCI had suspended the IPL 2025 tournament for a week amid rising border tensions between India and Pakistan. The decision was made after the cancellation of the highly anticipated match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) on May 8, 2025, due to security concerns.
According to inputs from Sportstak, the tournament will likely resume next week. However, the BCCI will review the security situation before confirming the new schedule and venues for the remaining matches.
The ceasefire agreement is a positive development for the IPL 2025, which was facing uncertainty due to the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan.
The potential resumption of the IPL 2025 next week brings relief to cricket fans and players alike. With the ceasefire in place, the focus can shift back to the game, and the tournament can proceed with minimal disruptions. The BCCI’s commitment to ensuring the safety of players and staff will be crucial in determining the success of the tournament.
