IPL to be suspended: Decision made by BCCI amid Pakistan

The 关键字3Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has suspended the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season due to escalating security situation following cross-border hostilities between Pakistan and India.

BCCI confirmed the decision in a statement released on IPL's official website, confirming the tournament had been suspended for one week.

The decision comes just one day after the IPL match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals was abandoned mid-innings at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala due to security concerns.

Yesterday's match was halted after floodlights failed and spectators were urgently evacuated, following false reports of missile threats and drone activity in nearby regions.

According to journalist Vikrant Gupta, the BCCI has opted to suspend the tournament as several northern Indian states, including parts of Punjab, IIOJK, and Rajasthan, remain on high alert.
