In a historic and unprecedented move, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has suspended IPL 2025 indefinitely amid escalating military tensions with Pakistan. As the nation stands on high alert following sustained cross-border hostilities, the BCCI has firmly stated that “there will be no cricket while the country is at war.”

The decision comes after high-level consultations with security agencies, central authorities, and state governments. With national security taking precedence, the cricket board cited serious safety concerns for players, officials, and fans.

“In these times of national emergency, entertainment must take a back seat. The safety of our citizens and the integrity of the nation come first,” a senior BCCI official said.

All matches have been put on hold effective immediately, and franchises have been informed of the decision. This marks the first-ever wartime suspension of the Indian Premier League since its inception in 2008.

Once the situation stabilizes, the BCCI is expected to issue a formal statement outlining its position and possible next steps.
