Why Completing the Rest of IPL Will Be BCCI's Top Priority
Hindustan Times Bengaluru
|May 10, 2025
Under a cloud of war, IPL 2025 has been suspended. For a week now, before the Board of Control for Cricket in India will review the situation again.
MUMBAI: If there is no scope of immediate resumption, it's certain every effort would be made by the Indian cricket establishment to play the remaining 17 matches—13 league matches and playoffs—of the game's biggest money spinner.
Go back a few years to 2021 when the world was hit by Covid. As things got better in England, the ECB resumed bilateral cricket behind closed doors.
But the BCCI's No. 1 priority wasn't to stage the T20 World Cup, for which they held hosting rights. They wanted to complete the suspended edition of IPL, which was halted following the outbreak of the second wave of Covid in India. IPL was played behind closed doors in the UAE in September-October. Then the T20 World Cup followed.
