IPL 2025 suspended indefinitely as India-Pakistan military conflict swells: Report
Mumbai/IBNS: The 18th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) has been suspended indefinitely amid the escalation of military actions between India and Pakistan, media reports said.
"We have decided to indefinitely suspend the IPL. The players’ safety is our utmost priority. Hence we decided to stop the tournament for now. We’ll decide later if and when the tournament can resume.
"Right now, national interest is of utmost importance," sources in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) told Hindustan Times.
The tournament, which was in the last phase of the ongoing edition, has been suspended a day after a match was called off due to Pakistan's attack in the Indian territory.
The Punjab Kings-Delhi Capitals match was on Thursday called off midway in Dharamsala, which was just 100 kilometers away from Pathankot where air raid alerts were sounded following Pakistan's unsuccessful attack on Jammu, Punjab and Rajasthan.
The match was first halted after stadium lights were turned off in a blackout out of security reasons.
The 18th edition of IPL began on March 22.
