BCCI awaits government's nod to resume IPL 2025 on May 15-16

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) suspended IPL 2025 for one week on Friday following rising tensions between India and Pakistan. However, both countries have agreed to a ceasefire. Now, there is a high possibility of the tournament resuming any time in the coming week.

BCCI is awaiting the Government's nod before beginning resumption plans.

According to a BCCI official, the board is closely monitoring the 'evolving situation' and will consult all the necessary stakeholders before deciding to resume the 18th edition of the T20 tournament.

"BCCI is closely monitoring the evolving situation and developments, and will take a call on IPL resumption after consulting all stakeholders of IPL and the concerned Government authorities," said BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia.

As per sources, there is a high chance of the IPL 2025 season resuming by May 15 or 16. However, the tournament might go ahead in limited venues.

However, the final of the event might be pushed ahead, considering the logistical challenges. Most of the foreign players have travelled back home, and bringing them back will take at least four to five days.
