Indian Premier League to resume on Saturday with final moved to June 3
NEW DELHI (AP) — The Indian Premier League will resume on Saturday following the simmering down of cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan. IPL officials made the announcement on Monday, three days after the world's richest Twenty20 league was suspended owing to military strikes by both countries at each other. No games will be lost. The Punjab Kings-Delhi Capitals game abandoned in Dharamsala in the 11th over on Thursday will be replayed. Chandigarh and Dharamsala, Punjab's home and the nearest venues to the border, have been ruled out for security and logistics reasons. Punjab will play its final two round-robin games in Jaipur. While the government has reopened 32 airports that were closed in India's north-west corridor, the Board of Control for Cricket in India is restricting the number of venues to six to be used when the IPL resumes. The final, originally scheduled for May 25, will be contested on June 3. The first two knockout matches will be on May 29 and 30. Qualifier 2 will be on June 1. The league will resume with Royal Challengers Bengaluru taking on Kolkata Knight Riders in Bengaluru. India superstar Virat Kohli will be in action for the first time since his test retirement announcement earlier Monday. The last round-robin game will be on May 27 when Lucknow Super Giants host Bengaluru. Seven teams are vying for the four places in the playoffs. Hyderabad, Rajasthan and Chennai have already been eliminated from contention. Chennai and Hyderabad will not play their final home games at their stadiums, keeping security and logistics in mind. ___

IPL teams can't take action against foreign players missing remainder of 2025 season — here's what report suggests
Indian Premier League (IPL) season 18 is all set to resume from this week, according to multiple media reports. Notably, there are still 16 matches to be played in the IPL, including the playoffs and the final, which would be played on an accelerated schedule once the cash-rich league resumes. However, even before the IPL 2025 resumption, some problems have started to emerge for the BCCI and the IPL franchises as most of the foreign players have gone home following the escalation of tensions between India and Pakistan and the cancellation of the Punjab Kings-Delhi Capitals match in Dharamshala. According to a report by Revsportz, RCB have already been informed about a foreign batsman who will not return for the IPL, while an injured Josh Hazlewood may also not return to India. Reportedly, IPL franchises cannot take any action against a foreign player if they refuse to return for the tournament due to a force majeure clause in their contracts. In simple terms, this contract excuses individuals/parties from fulfilling their contracts in the event of an extraordinary event beyond their control. Another report by Revsportz, the BCCI is currently waiting for an official confirmation from the government before resuming the 20-over league. The Indian cricket board has not communicated an official date for the resumption of the IPL to the franchises, but a tentative date of 17-18 May is likely to be followed for the resumption of the tournament. In order to complete the 12 league stage matches quickly, the BCCI is likely to hold more double-headers. Meanwhile, the final of the tournament is almost certain to be moved from 25 May to 30 May. There are even reports that the venue for the final could be moved from the Eden Gardens in Kolkata to the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Notably, IPL was suspended for a week following the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. However, with the two neighbours agreeing to a ceasefire, BCCI reportedly believes conditions are ripe for conducting the tournament.

IPL 2025: How India's packed calendar complicates Indian Premier League's resumption for BCCI
The BCCI is aiming to restart the 18th IPL season, which it had to suspend on Friday due to ongoing hostilities between India and Pakistan, later this week and conclude by the end of the month. Any further delay beyond that time period, and the Indian board will likely have a hard time finding the time to conduct the remaining games. read more The ongoing season of the Indian Premier League was suspended on Friday, 9 May, two days after the Punjab Kings-Delhi Capitals match in Dharamsala was called off due to security concerns. AP Discussions on the resumption of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) are starting to pick up pace with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) conducting a meeting on Sunday, two days after putting the ongoing season on hold and a day after India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire that was mediated by the United States. Despite Pakistan violating ceasefire just hours after arriving at a truce with India and the danger that such an act entails as far as peace in the Indian subcontinent is concerned, the . STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Also Read | A report on The Indian Express mentions 16-30 May as the revised dates for the BCCI to conduct the remaining 16 matches of the 18th IPL season – including the four playoffs. 'Ceasefire has just been announced. We now explore the possibility of resuming and concluding the IPL. If it is possible to conduct it immediately… We need to work out the venue dates and everything, and we would now be speaking to all the stakeholders, including team owners, broadcasters, and everyone involved and find a way as to how to move forward. 'Most importantly, we will have to consult with the government,' IPL chairman Arun Dhumal was quoted by the newspaper as saying on Saturday. How India's packed calendar and FTP complicates IPL resumption for BCCI It will be a major success for the BCCI should they execute their plan of conducting the remaining matches of the ongoing IPL season by in two-week window between 16-30 May, regardless of whether the board and the franchises are able to convince the foreign players who have already returned home for the final leg of the season or not. Conducting the IPL 2025 final by 30 May might make things a little tight for Australian and South African cricketers given they will have less than two weeks to recover from the gruelling IPL and prepare for the ICC World Test Championship final that gets underway at the Lord's from 11 June. Senior Indian cricketers who will be part of the action in the five-match Test series in England will have just about enough time to get their bodies rested before the marquee assignment that gets the 2023-25 World Test Championship cycle underway. The BCCI, however, faces a massive headache in case India and Pakistan renew their hostilities and armed forces from both sides continue exchanging fire. And that is due to the packed calendar that lies ahead for India this year. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The England Test series begins on 20 June and is set to conclude on 4 August. Two weeks later, India are scheduled to visit Bangladesh for three ODIs and as many T20Is from 17 to 31 August. The Asia Cup is tentatively scheduled to take place in the month of September but with its ongoing tensions with Pakistan, there are doubts over where the tournament will even go ahead as planned or not. India's schedule gets even more cramped from October to December, during which they host West Indies for two Tests and South Africa for a multi-format series and travel to Australia for three ODIs and five T20Is. The only realistic window for India during this period thus is in September, in which they will have to depend on Asia Cup's cancellation. And given the fact that it is scheduled to take place in the T20 format this year, the tournament would have been an important one in its preparation for next year's T20 World Cup, which it co-hosts with Sri Lanka where the Suryakumar Yadav-led Men in Blue get ready to defend their title. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The BCCI's best bet, thus is for the remaining 16 games to take place by the end of this month. The board will be praying things between the two nuclear-armed nations don't get any worse that what has already transpired so far.
