NEW DELHI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday confirmed that the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will take place from May 17 to June 3 across six venues.
The tournament was paused last week due to border tensions between India and Pakistan. With a ceasefire now in effect, the BCCI has decided to resume the remaining 17 matches.
"After extensive consultations with government and security agencies, and with all the key stakeholders, the Board has decided to proceed with the remainder of the season," the BCCI said in a statement.
