BENGALURU :Cricket Australia said on Tuesday it is working with the government as well as the Indian board on security arrangements with several players set to make a decision on whether to return to the Indian Premier League (IPL) when it resumes this week.
With the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season set to resume on May 17, after being suspended due to border tensions between India and Pakistan, many overseas players face a huge dilemma over whether to return or stay home. Reports suggested that the likes of Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc are unlikely to return to India for the remainder of the IPL season, while some other players are yet to make up their minds. Amid this situation, Cricket Australia has cleared its stance on Aussie players' participation in the T20 league.
Delhi Capitals' (DC) Australian pacer Mitchell Starc is unlikely to return to India even if the currently-suspended Indian Premier League (IPL) season resumes. In fact, most of the top Australian cricketer's are likely to skip the IPL , which was suspended for a week on Friday amid escalating regional tensions between India and Pakistan. Sources close to the BCCI told NDTV on Sunday that the IPL could restart as early as May 16, with the final likely to be shifted from May 25 to May 30.
As the BCCI contemplates resuming IPL 2025 following a temporary suspension due to cross-border tensions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) could be forced to complete the season without their premier pacer Josh Hazlewood. The Australian fast bowler, who was already nursing a shoulder niggle, had missed RCB's home clash against Chennai Super Kings on May 3 and was uncertain for their next fixture before the tournament was halted on May 9. Now, with the World Test Championship (WTC) final on the horizon, his return to India for the IPL looks increasingly unlikely.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season has been indefinitely suspended by the BCCI, accoridng to several media reports, following rising military tension between India and Pakistan. After the abandonment of the contest between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) in Dharamshala - amid blackout in the hill town following missile and drone attacks from Pakistan in Jammu and other areas, cricket has taken a backseat, with players' and staff's safety being prioritised. Amidst the chaos, overseas players have expressed concern regarding the situation, and a willingness to return home. Now, it lies on the BCCI as to how their safe travel can be executed.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals has been called off at the HPCA Stadium on Thursday as a precautionary measure, said IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal to IANS. At the time of the game being called off, which was signalled from stadium floodlights being turned off, PBKS were 122/1 in 10.1 overs. "Yes, the match has been called off as a precautionary step, because there are some incidents which happened in Jammu, I believe. That's what we got to know, so we thought it's wise to call off the game," said Dhumal to IANS from Dharamshala.
