In a decisive move reflecting the prevailing national sentiment, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the suspension of the TATA IPL 2025 for one week, effective immediately.
The decision follows escalating tensions at the India-Pakistan border and comes after careful deliberations with key stakeholders, including franchise representatives, players, broadcasters, sponsors, and fans.
According to a statement released by the IPL Governing Council, the suspension was deemed necessary to prioritize the safety and collective interest of all involved, especially in light of the ongoing Operation Sindoor led by India’s armed forces in response to the recent terror attacks and cross-border hostilities.
While reiterating its unwavering trust in the strength and preparedness of the Indian armed forces, the BCCI emphasized that the sanctity of the nation’s sovereignty, integrity, and security stands above all other considerations, including cricket. At this moment of national crisis, the Board has expressed full solidarity with the Government of India, the armed forces, and the citizens of the country.
The BCCI extended its heartfelt gratitude to the league’s official broadcaster Jiostar, as well as title sponsor TATA and all associate partners, for their understanding and steadfast support during these challenging times. Their willingness to prioritize the national interest has been deeply appreciated by the Board.
The BCCI confirmed that the revised IPL 2025 schedule and venues will be announced after a comprehensive assessment of the evolving situation, conducted in close coordination with relevant authorities and stakeholders.
As the nation stands united, the BCCI reaffirmed its commitment to act in alignment with the country’s priorities, expressing respect and admiration for the bravery and dedication of India’s armed forces, whose sacrifices continue to inspire the nation.
