The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the resumption of the TATA IPL 2025, starting from May 17. This decision follows a temporary suspension of the league due to cross-border tensions with Pakistan.
The tournament, comprising of 17 matches across six venues, will culminate in the finals on June 3. The BCCI assures that extensive consultations with government bodies and stakeholders have paved the way for this resumption. Details of the playoff venues will be disclosed soon.
However, there are lingering challenges, particularly with the availability of foreign players. Additionally, the IPL's revised dates coincide with the India A tour to England. The BCCI is expected to address potential scheduling conflicts in the upcoming days.
