The BCCI has suspended IPL 2025 indefinitely due to the escalating India-Pakistan tensions. The move comes after the Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals match was suspended, and now the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to put the Indian Premier League (IPL) on hold for the time being. As part of this decision, all foreign players will be sent back to their respective countries, with the BCCI taking full responsibility for ensuring their safe return.
Escalating Tensions Prompt SuspensionThe decision follows a series of attacks by Pakistan along the border, to which India responded strongly. Amidst the rising tensions, Dharamsala Stadium was placed under blackout, and the audience was evacuated immediately for safety. IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal was seen urging people to leave the stadium promptly, reflecting the gravity of the situation. It is also reported that a special train was organized to transport the players out of the area safely.
Future of IPL 2025 in DoubtWith heightened security concerns, the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore, scheduled for today, was put under review. IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal previously stated that the future of the tournament would be evaluated based on the “evolving situation”.
As tensions between India and Pakistan continue to rise, the BCCI is prioritizing the safety and well-being of all involved, leading to this unprecedented suspension of the IPL 2025 season.
