IPL 2025 Resumption: A decision regarding the resumption of IPL 2025 could be made tomorrow, May 11, following the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan.
IPL 2025 Resumption: After an unprecedented halt in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 which saw the tournament being suspended for at least one week following escalating military tensions between India and Pakistan, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is mulling the resumption of the cash-rich league after both India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire on May 10 (Saturday), as per sources.
While official updates from the BCCI are still pending, sources informed ABP News that the board is considering making a decision on the resumption of IPL 2025 on May 11 (Sunday).
It’s worth mentioning that most international players have already returned to their home countries following the escalation of military tensions between India and Pakistan.
As per an ESPNcricinfo report, as soon as the IPL 2025 suspension was announced, teams began disbanding, with players booking the earliest available flights to leave for their respective destinations. The majority of overseas players are expected to depart India by the end of Saturday. As a result, it will be a significant challenge for the BCCI to organize the remainder of the tournament in the near future.

The tournament was suspended midway amid rising cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan. Match no. 58 of IPL 2025 between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) was interrupted midway, with the BCCI announcing a suspension of the tournament for at least a week just hours later.
There are still twelve league-stage matches remaining, followed by four playoff games. Originally, Hyderabad was designated to host Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator, while Kolkata was set to host Qualifier 2 and the Final.
