The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 faces uncertainty as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) prepares to decide on the tournament’s resumption following the recent ceasefire announcement between India and Pakistan.
BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla confirmed that the IPL Governing Council will meet on Sunday (today) to discuss the best possible schedule to complete the remaining 16 matches of the season.
The league was suspended with 16 matches left due to escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. The decision to suspend the IPL was taken amid concerns that the conflict could escalate further in the coming days.

“The war has stopped. In the new situation, BCCI office bearers, officials, and the IPL Governing Council will discuss the matter tomorrow (Sunday) and take a call. We will see which can be the best schedule to complete the tournament,” Shukla told PTI Videos.
There had been speculation about relocating the remaining matches to southern Indian cities such as Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. Addressing this, Shukla added: “That was an option when war was going on. There are many options which have been discussed. The ceasefire has just been announced; give some time to us, we will discuss and then only a decision will be taken.”
The situation remains uncertain, with many foreign players having returned to their countries due to the disruption. The match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals was abandoned midway due to the conflict, and the closure of Dharamsala airport has further complicated logistics.
