After a week-long suspension due to escalating tensions between Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is set to resume on May 17. The tournament, which had 13 matches remaining, will continue across six Indian cities, with the final now scheduled for June 3. The 18th season of IPL has been action-packed, as five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and last year's runners up Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have already been knocked out. After the resumption, the players are set to rejoin their respective teams. However, several teams have announced some short-term replacements due to injuries or national commitments. Here is a comprehensive list of the latest changes across all franchises.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) head coach Ricky Ponting addressed the injury crisis within the squad after Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell was ruled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) due to a finger injury. Maxwell broke his finger during training, making him the second PBKS player to get sidelined after New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson also had a season-ending injury at the start of the tournament.

As the franchise faces defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), a clear message has been sent to the management over Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell's selection. Former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull has urged skipper Shreyas Iyer and the coaches to bench Maxwell for the important fixture.
