IPL 2025 suspended for a week — that’s the latest shocker for cricket fans, and it’s not just a rain delay this time. Ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan have forced the BCCI, in consultation with the Indian government, to suspend IPL 2025 for a week. The BCCI emphasized that national security comes first and declared its unwavering support for the Indian armed forces.
The IPL 2025 suspended for a week news broke after the governing council met with key stakeholders, including franchise reps, broadcasters, and government officials. Many foreign players had already voiced concerns over recent attacks along the border, especially after a Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals match was abruptly abandoned due to security issues. Teams were quickly and quietly evacuated from Dharamshala under high alert.
Thank you, @RailMinIndia, for arranging a special Vande Bharat train on such short notice to ferry the players, support staff, commentators, production crew members, and operations staff to New Delhi.
We deeply appreciate your swift response. 🙌🏽@AshwiniVaishnaw | @JayShah |… pic.twitter.com/tUwzc5nGWD

Devajit Saikia, BCCI secretary, made it clear: this isn’t a cancellation, just a pause. The board is working on a revised schedule and venues, pending further assessments. While some speculated about a UAE shift, that’s unlikely since the Pakistan Super League might relocate there — unless plans change again.
The BCCI’s bold call signals resilience, not retreat. A top board official commented, “Cancelling would’ve sent the wrong message — that we’re scared. But we’re not.” Their official statement stood firm: national pride trumps cricket.
The ripple effect has hit other domestic leagues too. The Bengal Pro T20 League’s second season is postponed, and Mumbai’s local league might face the same fate. While fans miss the action, the collective mood respects the BCCI’s decision.
🚨 News 🚨
The remainder of ongoing #TATAIPL 2025 suspended with immediate effect for one week.
