NEW DELHI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India announced Monday that the remaining matches of the Indian Premier League 2025 will resume from May 17 to June 3 across six venues, following a temporary pause due to border clashes between India and Pakistan. The decision comes after a ceasefire agreement was established.
"After extensive consultations with government and security agencies, and with all the key stakeholders, the Board has decided to proceed with the remainder of the season," the BCCI said in a statement.
