Delhi: Due to increasing tension between India and Pakistan, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken a big decision to postpone the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 for a week. The BCCI has issued a statement saying that the upcoming decision will be taken after seeing the situation.
In the current season of IPL, 12 group stage matches and knockout rounds are yet to be played. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see when and how the BCCI conducts the remaining tournament. If the situation is not normal in the coming days, then the tournament may be difficult to resume in India.
In such a situation, BCCI can once again consider organizing the remaining part of the tournament abroad. Earlier, IPL has been successfully organized in South Africa in 2009, and UAE in 2014, 2020 and 2021.
Meanwhile, there is news that the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is in “active talks” with BCCI to find a proper resolution of this situation. However, the Indian board will also have to find a suitable window in Team India’s busy international cricket calendar.
BCCI has these three possible windows to resume IPL 2025:
From late May to beginning of June
Originally the final of IPL 2025 was to be held on 25 May. The Test series between India and England starts from June 20. In such a situation, if the situation improves soon, then the BCCI can try to complete the tournament in this limited window.
august
India’s England tour will end on August 4, while the ODI series is proposed in Bangladesh from 17 August. Bangladesh tour is also in doubt due to diplomatic tension, which can also make this window available. In such a situation, the BCCI can have the remaining match of IPL in August.
september
The proposed Asia Cup 2025 in September is also in uncertainty due to existing regional tensions. If this tournament is postponed, then the month of BCCI can become another better chance for organizing IPL.
