IPL stops for a week as border clashes intensify

The Straits Times

May 10, 2025

India's cricket board said it had suspended the Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament on May 9 as fighting escalated with neighboring Pakistan, halting play in the sport's richest tournament two weeks before the end of the season.

NEW DELHI -

Board members were particularly concerned about the safety of players and whether it was appropriate for such events to take place during the conflict, a source with direct knowledge of the decision told Reuters.

"The idea is very clear — it is not appropriate at this time to continue IPL," said the source, who asked not to be named.

The suspension would take place "with immediate effect for one week", the IPL wrote in a social media post, confirming an earlier Reuters story.

"The decision was taken by the IPL governing council after due consultation with all key stakeholders following the representations from most of the franchisees," the IPL said.
