Meanwhile, it is learnt that the Indian cricket board had already informed the franchises to assemble at their respective centres as it is hoping to resume the league before the upcoming weekend.

The 2025 season of the IPL was suspended on Friday after the cross-border tension between India and Pakistan escalated. On Thursday, the game between Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans was called off midway in Dharamsala as a precautionary measure.

"The decision was taken by the IPL Governing Council after due consultation with all key stakeholders following the representations from most of the franchisees, who conveyed the concern and sentiments of their players, and also the views of the broadcaster, sponsors and fans; while the BCCI reposes full faith in the strength and preparedness of our armed forces, the Board considered it prudent to act in the collective interest of all stakeholders," BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia had said in a statement on Friday.
