The Indian Premier League 2025 is set to resume after a temporary halt due to security concerns.
A recent development in the India-Pakistan ceasefire has paved the way for the tournament’s restart.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is expected to announce the new schedule soon, with the tournament potentially resuming on May 16 or 17.
New Schedule and Venue
The first match after the restart is likely to be between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
The BCCI has shortlisted four cities to host the remaining matches.
All teams have been instructed to recall their foreign players and support staff immediately.
The Lucknow Super Giants team is expected to assemble by May 13, with other teams following suit.
Changes in Playoff Venue
The BCCI has also decided to change the venue for the playoffs.
The exact new venue has not been disclosed yet, but the decision is expected to be announced soon.
The initial halt was triggered by the cancellation of the Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals match on May 8 due to security concerns.
The BCCI is working to ensure a smooth completion of the tournament.
