The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is planning to resume the IPL 2025 soon after the suspension of the league for one week. A total of 16 matches are remaining in the league, and as per the original schedule, the season 18 was supposed to end on 25th May.

As the BCCI has suspended IPL 2025 for one week, completing the tournament on the original timeline has become quite difficult. According to reports, the board is now planning to schedule double-headers to finish the remaining matches quickly. The IPL 2025 Final is expected to be played on May 30.

However, there has been no official announcement from the board yet. Despite that, teams have already started recalling their overseas players and support staff, as the league is expected to resume soon.

IPL 2025 likely to resume on Friday, 16 May

According to the reports, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is likely to resume the IPL 2025 on Friday, May 16. On Saturday, US President Donald Trump announced that both countries have agreed on a full and immediate ceasefire.

Trump tweeted, “After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

After the ceasefire, BCCI is planning to resume the IPL 2025, which was suspended for a week due to the India-Pakistan conflict. Some overseas players left India after the announcement of the suspension of the season, but now all franchises are recalling their players and coaching staff.

Why was IPL 2025 suspended? 

BCCI suspended IPL 2025 for one week following rising tensions between India and Pakistan. The decision has been made in the interest of ensuring the safety of players, officials, and staff after Pakistan tried to attack several Indian cities.
