IPL to resume on May 17 across six venues
New Delhi: The Indian Premier League (IPL) is set to resume on May 17 at Bengaluru announced the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday. The tournament was suspended with tensions escalating on the India-Pakistan border on Friday last week but with a ceasefire agreement being reached by the countries, the league is set to resume with the final scheduled to take place on June 3. The remaining 17 matches will be held across six venues – namely Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and Lucknow. The BCCI confirmed that the decision to proceed with the remainder of the season has been made after consultations with the government and security agencies. The revised schedule includes two double-headers, which will be played on two Sundays while the playoffs will begin on May 29. Originally, the final was set to take place on May 25 at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata but confirmation for venue details of the playoffs will be announced at a later stage. According to the revised schedule, Qualifier 1 will be held on May 29, Eliminator on May 30 and Qualifier 2 on June 3. The IPL match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharmshala was stopped midway following air raid alerts in neighbouring cities of Jammu and Pathankot. Most overseas players and coaching staff have returned to their respective countries and it remains to be seen if they will return to play out the remaining leg and whether their Boards will grant them permission to return. The revised dates for the playoffs clashes with England's three-match ODI series against West Indies. The World Test Championship final between Australia and South Africa will begin on June 11 and it puts the participation of players from the respective countries in jeopardy. Gujarat Titans are placed top of the table (16 points), followed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (16 points), Punjab Kings (15 points) and Mumbai Indians (14). A few teams had already re-assembled for practice sessions while waiting for clarity.

"No decision has been taken yet": Rajeev Shukla on resuming IPL
New Delhi [India] May 11 : Rajeev Shukla, Vice President of the Board of Control of Cricket in India , said no final decision has been made yet regarding the Indian Premier League 2025 restart. Shukla stated that BCCI officials are actively working on the situation and assured that the tournament would be restarted soon. "No decision has been taken yet. The BCCI officials are working on the situation. The tournament was suspended for a week, and yesterday there was a tournament will be restarted soon," Shukla told reporters on Sunday. On Friday afternoon, the Board of Control for Cricket in India announced its decision to suspend the remainder of the ongoing IPL 2025, with immediate effect, for one week due to escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. The match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala was called off midway through the first innings on Thursday. Spectators were informed of the cancellation and asked to vacate the premises, while both teams were escorted back to their hotel. In an official statement, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said, "The Board of Control for Cricket in India has decided to suspend the remainder of the ongoing IPL 2025 with immediate effect for one week. Further updates regarding the new schedule and venues of the tournament will be announced in due course after a comprehensive assessment of the situation in consultation with relevant authorities and stakeholders." "The decision was taken by the IPL Governing Council after due consultation with all key stakeholders following the representations from most of the franchisees, who conveyed the concern and sentiments of their players, and also the views of the broadcaster, sponsors and fans; while the BCCI reposes full faith in the strength and preparedness of our armed forces, the Board considered it prudent to act in the collective interest of all stakeholders," he added. Later in the day, the inaugural edition of the Neeraj Chopra Classic 2025, which was set to be held on May 24 at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru, was postponed until further notice due to rising tensions between the two neighbouring countries.

Wisden accuses England and Australia of pandering to India
The 162nd edition of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack has condemned England and Australia's acquiescence to India's 'monopoly' in 2024, the year the game 'gave up any claim to being properly administered' and the 'big three became the big one'. The new edition of the Almanack, seen as a touchstone for the game, is published on Thursday and while it dishes out a series of high-profile awards, its editor's notes have taken aim at the game's administrators. Lawrence Booth, the Almanack's editor, was critical of the game allowing Jay Shah, the secretary of the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) and son of Amit Shah, Narendra Modi's minister of home affairs, to slip seamlessly across to the top job at the International Cricket Council. 'The communal shrug confirmed a sorry truth: 2024 was the year cricket gave up any claim to being properly administered, with checks, balances, and governance for the many, not the few,' he writes. 'India already had the monopoly: now they had hotels on Park Lane and Mayfair. 'It is often said the ICC has become little more than an events company. The craven reorganisation of the Champions Trophy, with India's games moved at the 11th hour from Pakistan to the Gulf – three years after the schedule had been agreed by everyone, including Shah's BCCI – failed to clear even that low bar. 'England and Australia, the only other countries with a hint of clout, acquiesced with barely a squeak. Shah's coronation – uncontested, naturally – was in no small part a consequence of their refusal to hold India to account. A decade or so earlier, the talk had been of a Big Three takeover. Now, cricket has handed over the only key not already in India's possession. All hail the Big One.' Booth describes the World Test Championship as a 'shambles masquerading as a showpiece', and an 'absurdity' because it is so difficult to follow. He described the race to this June's final at Lord's as 'a weird hybrid – like trying to choose between the winner of the 400-metre hurdles and the 100m sprint'. 'The ICC cannot allow the championship to continue as if designed on the back of a fag packet,' he writes. 'Double its length to four years, like football and rugby, and ensure the top nine in the rankings all play each other, home and away, over series of at least three Tests. 'As 2024 repeatedly reminded us, Test cricket is more competitive than proponents of a two-tier system believe. West Indies prevailed at the Gabba, Sri Lanka at the Oval. Bangladesh won in Pakistan, who came from behind to beat England, who won in New Zealand, who had just won 3-0 in India, who won the first Test in Australia, who won three of the next four. Early in 2025, West Indies squared a series in Pakistan. Unpredictability is the essence of sport. 'The response to all this must not be to insist on more, more, more – diluting the marquee series until they lose what makes them special. It must be to resist two divisions, and to invest in Test cricket everywhere, creating a more attractive proposition for the broadcasters. ICC insiders fear they will get nothing like their £2.4 billion TV deal that runs out in 2027, with potentially damaging consequences for many Test nations. It's in everyone's interests to share the love.'
