Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has been suspended indefinitely due to continuous tension between India and Pakistan. Up to 57 games were completed this season before a pause for security reasons.

This was in the cards after match 58 between Punjab Kings (Pbks) and Delhi Capitals (DC) was abandoned halfway in Dharamsala. The crowd was evacuated from the stadium, and the players were transferred back to a safe place after a blackout.

Why was IPL 2025 suspended?

IPL 2025 suspended in the midst of india-pakistan ascent hostility. Several cities throughout the country are observing a blackout, with severely restricted movements.

In the middle, it was arduous to execute the discomfort of the league, and the safety of players and crowds is the highest priority. Several Cricket boards are already in contact with the BCCI, since they want to fly to their players soon.

Most players abroad will leave the country soon, so IPL 2025 were obliged to be suspended. This is also wise since players would be restless to play in such a tense environment.

When will IPL 2025 resume?

From the news, the most important question is: When will IPL 2025 resume? This is a key question because the league was already underway, so Bcci would want it to be completed soon.

Although there is no confirmation about when IPL 2025 will resume, an attempt for the restart is during the Asia Cup window.

Some reports suggest that India will not participate in the Asia Cup and Bangladesh series, and the BCCI can reorganize IPL 2025 during this period. The Bangladesh tour was scheduled in August, and the 17th edition of the Asia Cup was scheduled in September.

Now that both gums are unlikely, the BCCI gets a window in the middle of a tight schedule. It will not take long to complete, since only a few games remain.

Potential places for the rest of IPL 2025

The big question is when IPL 2025 will resume, but another consultation is on the place for the rest of IPL 2025. Ideally, the BCCI would want it to happen in India, but they must look for other options if the war does not stop over time.

The two potential places are the EAU and South Africa. The EAU has previously housed IPL 2020 and partially IPL 2021, and the BCCI has good ties with them.

India also played the 2025 Champions Trophy in Dubai since the tournament was held in Pakistan. Therefore, the EAU could be the favorite to organize the rest of IPL 2025.

South Africa remains another since it is far from the continuous tension between India and Pakistan. IPL 2009 was also played in Rainbow Nation, and times will not be a problem either.

In addition, some IPL teams also have franchises in SA20, so IPL teams understand the places. They have some reasons where matches can occur, and there are no international games scheduled during August to September in South Africa.
